Many receiving subsidies are hated by the Tea Party. There is an idea people on subsidies will vote democrat. Of course, they are mistaken. I know poor people on subsidies who hate President Obama. Nevertheless, there is an idea they can hurt Obama's base.
I think it will do the opposite, take away food stamps, Head Start and health care. You will see many on the right turn against the Tea Party conservatives. There has to be some compassion left on the conservative side. The governors of red states, must care about their poor at least a little.
