To: Jonathan Haidt Subject: Head up A__ I vote republican because I’m against other people (authority figures) taking my money (that I work hard for) and giving it to a non-producing, welfare collecting, single mother, crack baby producing future democrat.

To: Jonathan Haidt Subject: Top 15 reasons that people vote Democrat • Laziness. • You want something for nothing. • You need someone to blame for your problems. • You’re afraid of personal responsibility or simply not willing to accept any. • You despise people who work hard for their money, live their own lives, and don’t rely on the government for help cradle to grave. • You’ve had 5 kids from 3 different men and you need the welfare check.
