I haven't noticed any promises of "free shit for everyone" on behalf of any Dem campaigns; it seems like more of an extension of what I mentioned above.

For instance: There is no possible way Obama can fund healthcare for everyone without taking more money out of my pocket and giving it to someone else in the form of health benefits. All those social programs and tax cuts for those people who just need a hand? More money out of my pocket. Want to raise taxes on corporations? Guess who the buck gets passed to: Me, the consumer which means more money out of my pocket.

You can be pretty sure that if it weren't for the government taking money out of other people's pockets you wouldn't have as much opportunity to make the money that's being taken from you. When used effectively, taxation increases opportunity.
