Has there ever been a good scientific study...?

Question

... to see who is more likely amongst conservatives or liberals to:

A) Live in a trailer park.
B) Receive a welfare check.
C) Have a police record for spousal abuse.
D) Have no high school diploma.
E) Etc...

I figured something like that would be nice, because we really need to set the record straight. In my own experience, I've never met a person on government assistance who wasn't a liberal, but then again, there's many who say it's vice-versa.

Some cold hard statistics would be cool.

To the first poster... you have a point. I've asked several people (of the ones I mentioned) if they voted in the last election, and they said "No..." and then came up with an excuse.

Answer 1

All I can do is give anecdotal case study information from personal experience.

A. I think trailer park living is neutral. If the individual lives there due to poverty and due to chronic unemployment or drug use...probably liberal. If the individual is in a retirement community that limits the age of residents to 55 and up, possibly Republican.

B. Not liberal in indoctrination, but someone the liberal recruit by the persistent bribe of "money for nuthin" and "abortions for free".

C. Probably neutral. Spouse abuse probably has very little to do with politics. Again, I could see a chronically unemployed male with too much time on his hands, coming off of crank, fighting over stupid stuff and getting arrested. But he's probably not an ideologue, nor a voter.

D. Probably neutral. Higher education does not equate with common sense (required, if you are going to be a conservative). Many who attend college start out as liberals due to marxist indoctrinations of college professors, but once they earn a check and see 33% of it missing to fund their precious social programs, they see the light and convert.

Answer 2

those stats are out there.
they are not easy to find
because they make both sides look bad depending on the area under study.
in some states large amounts of republicans are on welfare and in other states it's the exact opposite.
neither side likes to air their dirty laundry.

I believe that such studies make both sides look bad which is why no one likes to promote them.

Answer 3

In my opinion, most that fit those descriptions aren't even registered voters.

I have seen an equal amount of both sides fitting those descriptions if I were to stereotype.

Answer 4

we don't need no scientific study to know the answer to that.

Answer 5

my my my... aren't we prejudiced!
