The threatening aspect of this parasitism is that, from what I've read, thanks to eight years under Comrade Obama, and the lingering aftereffects of the so-called "Great Recession", over 50% of American citizens now receive one or more kinds of UNEARNED government handouts.

spring-loaded to vote for whoever/whatever Democrats choose to run. As I've suggested before, that probably won't be Geriatric Joe, but what the hell... to
parasitic voters, one Democrat 'sugar-daddy' is just as good as any other....
