>A well-functioning economy which rewards smart work, results, innovation, and risk-taking.

You don't think a safety net encourages risk-taking? By definition, it does. Many people don't leave their jobs to start their own businesses because they don't want to lose their health insurance, for instance.

>You really should be asking yourself why liberals are so fearful of this country losing its "middle class." Especially when the American middle class is so huge, so diverse, and so well-off compared to the rest of the world.

I can't totally speak to the comparison, but I can tell you it's shrinking here. That's a big problem
