(3,813 posts)Why all the up tightness against the poor?
We, meaning the taxpayers, pay far more for corporate welfare than we do to the poor, look it up. The poor dont have lobbies with millions to represent their interests.
Yeah, Yeah, I know theyre poor because theyre all lazy and dont work hard enough, or even worse, welfare cheats, some of the biggest ones caught, that stole millions of dollars each, were doctors.
Oh, about those cell phones they were given that cost about $10 a month, just like my plan, it enables them to be in contact with possible employers and others when they dont even have a permanent address, yeah, we would not want that now would we?
And now that food prices have more than doubled and wages havent, we would not want to help them out, would we? Lets pay billions to ConAgra and others in taxpayer subsidies, instead.
They cant get unemployment without paying in to it, but thats just a small point, because most of the jobs they had were shipped overseas.
As far as medical costs, dont treat them, let them die because it will be cheaper and that way we will have more taxpayer revenues to give to the MIC, for the next unjust invasion of some to be determined country.
I know all this because someone on Fox News told me so.
What do you really think the results would look like?
