"America has invented the obese poor person." Is this because food is so cheap in America the poor can afford to overeat?
I believe it's less attainable than in prior generations. Why? Because the Leftists want to tax the successful more-and-more. That is, even if you make upper middle-class wages.. your after-tax will be reduced so much that you'll have a difficult time to accumulate enough to feel successful. The Leftist government wants everybody to be equal so that nobody seemingly has grounds to bitch... but still only "one notch above destitute" while the government elites remain the overlords and live high-on-the-hog of the work/efforts of the hoi polloi.
We're apparently about to have a "rightest government". Do you think it will be any different, in terms of elites, overlords, high on the hog living, etc.?
Your IQ is what? 80? Actually many of those who are poor are choosing to be poor. Many drop out of school .. and that is a CHOICE. Those who finish high school have mediocre grades mostly. Thus they get crappy jobs. Then they CHOOSE to have kids they rarely can support. As far as lending them a helping hand .. hello! Having helped a poor kid get into a charter school (because her Mom was too lazy) that required me to hand carry documents to the school on the kids behalf I know many get (1) Section 8 housing (2) utility subsidies or credits (3) Food stamps (4) Medicaid (5) free cell phones (6) free tutoring for kids. You have any idea what that can add up to per month .. and it's free to them.
He's stating yet again he has no intelligent reply ... he just likes to argue. For every Herman Cain or Ben Carson, both who grew up poor, and succeeded in life through CHOOSING to get an education and then working hard in their respective professions ... we probably have 10 or 30 or 50 poor people who choose to drop out of school, or just do enough to get a high school degree and then crank out 5 or 6 kids.
"Social support".. should be 3-SQUARES AND A COT... we're not going to let anyone starve or freeze to death in America... but we OWE the lazy and ne'er-do-wells.. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. If they want better in their life than that, they should GET A FARKIN' JOB AND PAY FOR IT... JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!
