And you wonder why People call Republicans like yourself uncaring?

Well, I care about rights--specifically, the right of people to freely contract, the right to one's property and the fruits of one's labor without others demanding that one give "charity" at gunpoint, that kind of thing.

Unlike a CEO the poor must depend upon congress to protect themselves from people like you.

I fail to see what I am doing to the poor that they need protection from.

You propose the government starve people in order to force them to take a job for less than current minimum wage.

You only seem to approve of contracts when they help you out. Government is a contract. Government has the right, even obligation to assure that none starve to death. Government protects the people in exchange for taxes and the right to make laws. This includes laws that protect the poor from people like you.

If you don't like America get the he!! out. Contract with some other country. I guarantee you won't find a better one though.
