This is how I see these things: When the government takes money away from someone rich and gives it to someone poor, Democrats/liberals call it compassion.
When Republicans try (and often fail) at keeping the government out of the pockets of individuals so they can do what they see fit, including donating money, Republicans call that compassion...
Now I don't know about you guys, but I don't see how the police force of the government forcefully taking away from one person and giving to the other person is compassionate. There is no compassion is forcing someone to be "compassionate."
But really the whole system in America is bunked... we need to change the paradigm and limit the vote to local and representatives in congress. Let the electoral college cast the votes and choose the President. This whole beauty contest that has run for well over a year now, is tiresome, boring, and disingenuous.
