The tsunami hit REAL poor people. People that have to raise their own food, beg for handouts, and dig through landfills, among other DAILY, desperate acts on their part, for mere SURVIVAL.
Those REAL poor people don't THINK they are poor because they only have TWO TV's, and only BASIC cable. Those REAL poor people look thin because they are always hustling to survive, not sitting on their asses, eating "comfort foods" while waiting for their regularly scheduled government "FIX" (a welfare check). At least Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. Our government, based on action taken years ago by such "upstanding" liberal weiners as LBJ, takes from the PRODUCTIVE, and gives to the LAZY, SHIFTLESS, and IGNORANT.
This perpetual big government "narcotic" keeps these poor sods in poverty, and in need of government for virtually ALL of their needs. In return for the monthly check, they blindly, and stupidly, go to the polls, year after year, and vote for their "masters" in the demonRAT party.
It is sickening, disgusting, maddening, and sad at the same time, to most Americans.
Yet the demonRATs have no shame, and want to maintain the status quo.
Did you hear about the ones in Houston who got the $2000 debit cards before FEMA stopped that,ans they spent it all(probably enriching a few local crack in the process),and then got on TV-I saw this one guy,he was as you described in your post-and were screaming that they were OWED $20,000? AND had the audacity to say that being at the Astrodome was like being in the hold of a slave ship? Um,did it not occur to this guy that he was free to walk right out of the Astrodome and go get himslef hired at a job-maybe even get hired to go back with a team going to New Orleans,HIS city,to CLEAN UP the mess the "poor" looters made?
