This is why America is so heavily divided . Many conservatives assume all people who need support are lazy or stupid and many liberals assume all conservatives are racist and homophobic . Some people actually have it rough , not because they ' re lazy or because they made a bad decision in college , but because life can be fucking hard . My uncle is a great hardworking guy who got laid off because his company couldn ' t afford to pay him anymore . His wife is working long hours , because he is getting paid a fraction of what he once made , and they have a young daughter who they have to support . People like them could use things like universal health care , because if they struggle to get by now , think about how much worse it could get .
