War makes money. And it's in their best interest to keep people so poor they have no other options than to enlist. They are well aware of the budgetary impact - on their own budgets. There's no profit to be made in helping disaster victims.

22. And of course, "no aid unless it is paid for, or not given at all."
|
We know that all of the farm subsidies and aid to the wealthy are paid for because we have no budget deficits from this largess.
So, of course we must slash aid to the impoverished, disabled and elderly before we even consider helping people who are in the middle of a horrific disaster in America. Sadly, the affected area has a huge 1%er populations along with some of our poorest citizens "the service sector" where the workers cannot find employment. If a "Gucci bag" was purchased with any of the disaster aid, it would be done so, indignantly, by a member of the wealthy. They would deserve that for the trouble they experienced by having to jet away to a safe locale.. This thinking brought to you by the greediest, nastiest political party on earth....what a POS.  |

The " over there.." referral to the East Coast all but immortalizes your entire press release as insincere, you imbecile. When you're not sure what to say, just keep your uneducated and prejudicial mouth shut. Oh and by the way--You're going to Hell, Missy.
