I think this cuts to the root of the The Socialism of Barack Hussein Obama (1 2 3 4 5) series. Some of these things apply to RINOs too; I present a (partial) list of what Barak and his Democrats (cf. "the devil and his angels") want you to pay for, under threat of government force:
Above-market pay for teachers and military; free education at all levels for everybody; more free money for people with kids; pay people to grow trees; "green" technology research; aid to foreign governments; health insurance for everyone; healthcare, welfare, and education for illegals; amnesty for illegals; cheap/free housing; nurse care; transportation; more farming subsidies; force companies to employ minorities and seniors (affirmative action); drugs for seniors; urban "community development"; workforce training; free money for minority businesses (more affirmative action); bail out dumb homeowners; increased minimum wage; lifetime subsidies for veterans; Internet for everyone; more FMLA.
In my reality, you find a job, work hard, trading your skills for money, and use that money to buy the things you want. Liberals have a hard time with that for some reason. I think they also hate the idea of people not being dependent on the government: if government wasn't giving out free stuff, likely it would fall to neighborhood organizations, including churches, which would build stronger communities, possibly bring more people to Christ, and that'd annoy the Democrats to no end: they want the state to be your god, with congress as its prophet.
