What we have here folks is the poor who can't even support their own household but think they know how to run an entire country. They think they know what is best yet the post below is only one example of how dumbed down people are. They don't even realize that inflation hurts poor people.

They don't even understand something so basics. No wonder democrats and liberals and the poor money grabbers can not understand that higher taxes hurt the poor and middle class in the end. These people support the money grab and actually think they will get it.

The politicians have to be laughing their asses off.

I'm sure those two posters will be quite surprised to see themselves described as poor, money-grubbing liberal Democrats.

How exactly do you know these posters are "poor"? Did you somehow get access to their tax returns?

Somebody is laughing their a$$es off. Mostly after reading this thread.

Wow, that is the best defense... straw man and how do I know?

So you all agree and think inflation does not have the most negative effect on the poor?

Inflation has a negative effect on ALL consumers. The poor especially because they have fewer financial resources to absorb the extra burden.

Now, answer my question, how do you know the posters you cited are poor?

It's odd to make a claim like that about the poor, when, in reality, the ultra-rich are dependent upon slave consumerism from the poor.

Exactly and already posted but as already answered it hurts the poor even more so

So people shouldn't have a say in how they are governed if they are poor?

Isn't democracy what the founding fathers fought for, not a Plutocracy?
