SHOCKER: As a Teen Cashier Seeing Food Stamp Use, I Changed My Mind About
the Democrat Party.
I also learned how people gamed the welfare system. They’d buy two dozen
packs of soda with food stamps and then sell them at a discount for cash.
They’d ring up their orders separately, buying food with food stamps, and
beer, wine, and cigarettes with cash. They’d regularly go through the
checkout line speaking on their cell phones. I could never understand why
our lives felt like a struggle while those living off of government largesse
enjoyed trinkets that I only dreamed about. . . .
Every two weeks, I’d get a small paycheck and notice the line where federal
and state income taxes were deducted from my wages. At least as often, our
drug-addict neighbor would buy T-bone steaks, which I was too poor to buy
for myself but was forced by Uncle Sam to buy for someone else. This was my
mindset when I was seventeen, and though I’m far less angry today than I
was then, it was my first indication that the policies of Mamaw’s “party
of the working man”—the Democrats—weren’t all they were cracked up to be.
Political scientists have spent millions of words trying to explain how
Appalachia and the South went from staunchly Democratic to staunchly
Republican in less than a generation.
Some blame race relations and the Democratic Party’s embrace of the civil
rights movement. Others cite religious faith and the hold that social
conservatism has on evangelicals in that region.
A big part of the explanation lies in the fact that many in the white
working class saw precisely what I did, working at Dillman’s.
