When the government extends its hand full of cash and goodies, takers will gladly empty what becomes a fist to those who must pay. And the demand will outgrow the supply as the "group" (which the federal gvt. is not constitutionally authorized to "help" beyond what it is granted to do for everybody equally) grows as it naturally will. Throwing money out the window will attract a crowd. And politicians like Biden should know about such axiomatic behavior. The Founders were aware that if the citizens were entitled to the public largesse, the republic would be doomed.
Nobody is trying to rig the game so freeloaders can continue to exist.
A constituency is created through unconstitutional means, and that constituency can be maintained and expanded to help sway elections.
The elite by contrast do have the ability to rig the game for specific and usually profit motivated interests...be it a company or industry...
The game can be rigged only with the complicity of the government. It is the government that regulates at the behest of the elite or the "freeloaders". And politicians like Biden are glad to accept the money from the "elite" and the votes from the "freeloaders".
I think there is a difference, but also, it's about the line of attack and if it will be successful against Romney.

Not "also," but all. That is the whole point. Divide and conquer.
