Would it be fair to say that a major portion of Biden Supporters Don’t Work and are nothing more than welfare dead beats

'Fair' is O-P-I-N-I-O-N but it would be a LIE to say "a major portion of Biden Supporters Don’t Work and are nothing more than welfare dead beats" as if that's somehow factual.

Is there evidence that that is NOT a factual statement? Of course, it comes down to what is a "major portion". 10%? 25%? Half?

As well as recent public education high school and college graduates. There are major sections of important modern history young people were never taught. Many of them think history was written by Howard Zinn.

Damn. We're busted.

All 75 million of us are sitting on our porches with our hounds, cleaning our squirrel guns, and watching for the postman to bring our welfare checks. You got us this time.

I personally work in investment management, and more than likely am in the higher end of the income range of people on this forum. Most people I work with are Biden supporters, for whatever that's worth.
not much, since you asked

I've never been on welfare, had a full merit scholarship that allowed me to graduate from college debt free and used tuition remission to complete a master's degree while working full time. My MBA, also paid for by work, is on pause now because I work an average of 60 hours a week. I worked full time during stage IV cancer treatment.


And you'd never catch me voting for the current GOP.

Only if 51% of Kentucky voters are on welfare, government employees or other forms of non-worker.

Asking for a friend ...
Living the good life without the worry of earning a pay check? Yes, I agree it is fair to say that people who think like that are warped degenerates.

He asks: Would it be fair to say that a major portion of Biden Supporters Don’t Work and are nothing more than welfare dead beats?

Nope, not any more than saying that a major portion of Trump supporters are illiterate trailer trash white supremacists and rabid Nazi sympathizers.

Rhetoric is not reality.

Now, looking at those places where Trump has the strongest support, you will find many who do not work and live off of other taxpayers or are otherwise sucking off the public teat. Public welfare takes many forms including a variety of subsidies for agriculture and various industries, not just those who are unemployed or unemployable or disabled. The economy is struggling due to the pandemic and huge numbers are not working. I would not refer to them as dead beats.
