If you cared about "the needy" or wanted to "fight the greedy" these are the things you'd be touting. And btw, who the hell cares if Carter did this or Clinton did that? Were they Saints? Infallible?

As for your "protections" - we should not need "protections" - WE SHOULD HAVE NO POOR. This is a rich country. That so many - children, workers, seniors - are mired in poverty is a function of our so-called "Representatives," our so-called "Public Servants" - including this President - serving only the Banksters and Insurance Ghouls.
