Did I say hate? I know I said wrong focus. But coldness to the poor can be characterized as hate.
I know of a family that the dad works part time.
The mom doesn’t.
Their kids get free breakfasts and lunches.
They rent a great house supplemented by the government.
They get food stamps.
They have a car, cable and cellphones.
Basically they have the same quality of life as I do.
Are these the poor you speak of?
But coldness to the poor can be characterized as hate.
Bullcrap. What you call "coldness" is simply the recognition that the government has no business taking from the productive to support the unproductive. The only warmth government can really give is by starting fires.
I strongly object to welfare policies administered by the government - especially the federal government. I also contribute directly to several charities that support the needy. Being lectured about being "cold" to the poor because I object to the government taking Peter's money to pay Paul not to work just pi$$es me off.
I apologize if it seems like I'm attacking you - I'm not. I do believe you should reconsider the basic premise in most of your posts, though - that it's not their fault. Until an individual is working as hard as they can to overcome their circumstances, it most certainly IS their fault.
