Yeah, us cops try to raise our kids conservative. We see first hand the abuses of the social systems. I can't tell you how many times I have been into a HUD home where there are 50" plasma TVs on the walls and Escalades with $5k rims parked out front. Social assistance is a must in modern society, but it's used in our country as a handout rather than a hand-up. Ask any cop and he'll tell you the same thing....our system is abused. I have always been a conservative, but being a cop certainly solidified my beliefs.
