People who are poor and vote democrat are not voting democrat to keep welfare funded. They are voting democrat to make sure the system is still freely able to be scammed into oblivion. So they can claim all possible benefits while being financially supported by unreported means. Like, drug dealing, partners that are not listed on applications or birth certificates, keeping jobs that also pay cash tips on top of hourly wages and not reporting it. Getting free benefits from others like free child care etc.
I say this having been on welfare for a period and knowing quite a few others who are still on it. Its a "game the system" vote. Everyone knows republicans would bare minimum shut the door on inelligible people getting benefits but would never get rid of them.
Hell, I know people who use to get all the benefits possible and were making $1000/week back in the 90's. Owned a really nice home, new cars all in their parents names etc. Never needed welfare and even after reporting nothing was done about it.
