Buying Voters

As the cost of health insurance plans and out of pocket expenses go up for the people who actually pay for their health care, people will find that it may be better for them to reduce their level of income so they can qualify for subsidies.  As they realize that qualifying for health care subsidies means that for a few less dollars of income per year will qualify them for food stamps and section 8 housing, they will trade their pride in independence for a comfortable, government supplied, lifestyle. As they become completely dependent on the government for their human needs, they will create offspring who know of no different lifestyle than being dependent on the government.  Long term thinkers in the democrat party must realize that increasing government benefits will increase the number of people on government support.  What do they plan on doing with all of these unproductive citizens?  Are they just perpetuating their political base?  Will the only requirement for government aid in the future be that the receivers must vote in all elections?  They will certainly have time for it.
