soon the rich will take over and begging will be the only
thing left the poor will have ,I dont think anyone will be willing to help them.
You are so going to get the zot.
Spoken like a true DUmented troll.
OF COURSE WE, THE RICH, are about to "take over" thanks to Haliburton, Blackwater, and DIEBOLD!
We are going to use our army of Rednecks that cling to their bibles and gunz to root out the poor....and convert our SUVs from fossil fuels to soylent POOR people devices!
Well I know for sure that I want the "rich" to feel comfortable enough about this economy to invest their wealth in growing - or starting - a company.
Without the "rich" providing the opportunity for jobs, the poor are left to subsistence farming in order to survive...
Why should anyone be forced by government to help anyone else?
The best help the poor can get is for government to quit taxing those who are in the best position to help the poor.
I hope you can learn that “the poor” in the US are free to move themselves up if they are here legally. Beggars who have invaded from the third world need to go back where their vision and understanding of life actually fits life.
America has safety nets for AMERICANS temporarily down on their luck. Welfare is not a hammock for lay abouts. In addition, Americans are the most generous people on earth in giving their money away to help others.
We have been through bad economic times before and come out of it. That will happen again. No need to use the economy as an excuse to construct a socialist stink hole in America. I kind of like your idea of the middle and upper classes being given the chance to end or limit welfare with a vote! If the socialists can organize to steal for a minority, the majority should be able to organize to take their freedom, money and property back. It is not to your advantage to play class warfare in America.
Oh, okay. So in other words the rich in Oregon are finally taking some action, like a Boston Tea Party, instead of allowing the government to take their money from them and give it to the poor? If the government allowed charities to take over instead of doing it through taxes, the poor would be able to eventually work for themselves and get off welfare all together....
Who do you get a job from, the man who has nothing, or the man that owns a business?...
But that’s not the real point is it? The real point is to ‘fundamentally transform’ America
Into
Venezuela, cuba, INDONESIA...
Charitable organizations will help, but not just give. The “poor” need to help themselves. Yes, there are true poor and handicapped that need a social net, but there are poor who do that by choice. They need to make the effort to drag themselves out of it and it should not be done by taxing the rich or the middle class to support them.
Let them eat cake.
They can work. Begging isn't all that's left for them to do.
IATZ :(
90% of the so-called "poor" are nothing but freeloading leeches, living off the welfare system that is funded by money stolen from those of us that actually work for a living. They are perpetual participants in the welfare state, having learned long ago how to trade food stamps, work just enough to get unemployment while still gaining the "earned income credit" (which is far from "earned"), pretend to be partially disabled so that they can get that Social Security disability check, and generally living it up at other peoples' expense. You can thank LBJohnson for creating this freeloading monstrosity.
Sympathy for the poor? I'll show sympathy when they stop stealing the fruit of my labor.
