Scrooge would vote Democrat

Portly Gentleman: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time.
Ebenezer: Why? Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
Portly Gentleman: Many can't go there; and many would rather die.
Ebenezer: If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.

Like Scrooge, Leftists think the government has primary responsibility for the care of the poor. Like Scrooge, Leftists think one solution is to 'decrease the surplus population' of the poor.
