I have seen wealthy, successful highly motivated parents who were the best parents you you could wish for. They gave their children every opportunity, and yes they are hardcore conservatives. Their children, now approaching the age of 30 are useless.
I have relatives who are hardcore Republican conservatives who are actually Baptist preachers. The children can't hold a job and they are basically sucking on the government teat for all it is worth. The shame of is the children's children are really in need but the parents are too fucking unmotivated to get an education or get real job.
That is why I hoped DD was trying to be funny because I always considered him smarter, more informed than that.

Some are folks who have a slight condition called addiction. They could be addicted to heroin or a legal drug like alcohol. The addiction can lead spending everything you have just to feed the habit. At some point, the habit keeps taking until there is literally nothing left. Some people have a physical injury that leads them into kicking the habit. Others fall further still until all they know and do is to feed the habit. Some eventually find help and the last just die.
