8. If you give people opportunity, the take it. When you don't give people
opportunity, they have nothing to take.

People who don't see that Democrats are the party of opportunity and Republicans are the party that relies on misery need to rethink what's going on in the world.

They also need to realize that a social safety net is actually the thing that is keeping wages reasonable. More desperation is just going to take more wealth out of working class in the form of lower wages, lost opportunity and destroyed neighborhoods.
