Reply #129: Poverty will become more and more of an issue

[PatSeg]

as more people are affected by this "strong economy". People are losing their homes, their jobs, and health care. It is a bi-partisan issue when it hits middle class America. Republicans are magically transformed into liberals when they lose all those things that they've taken for granted for years. Catastrophic illness, death of a spouse, outsourced job, etc., not the individual's fault, can create a sudden appreciation for those dastardly government programs that they wanted to get rid of.

Hey, if you lack compassion for another human being, you could be doomed to walk in their shoes some day (not meaning "you" personally!).
