One of my jobs is at a video rental. I also sell cigarettes at the same counter. I will also check out a small amount of groceries. It irks me to have these individuals buy these name brand foods and junk foods with their Access card and then fork over almost 4.00 each for one or more packs of cigs. Oh, sometimes they will rent video's at 3.00 a pop also.

I have no doubt that some people will probably remain poor all of their lives, simply because they refuse to spend less than they earn. The good side of this is that simple economics enforces a prudent social policy.

The solution proposed to answer poverty with suicide indicates the author is simply guilty of worldly sins. Her god is how to live within an worldly establishment by its laws rather than those of God. Why else would she suggest an eternal separation from Him, especially since He has already paid for the sins of man?

Indeed. My parents came to the US with no money, nothing, and had the burden of my starving drooling 1 year old arse on top of that. They were educated, but my father's chemistry degree from India was rather useless in the post-Carter economy of 1981.

They worked their tails off and joined the upper middle class of America.

Welfare bums are an insult to our freedom, and the people who died to preserve it.
