??? I was taught that if I worked hard and stayed in school and got good graades and didn't do drugs or crime I'd become rich. Then I learned otherwise.
You know what was said up-thread about some that chose to stay poor?
true, who needs a gun when they got Obama, Reid and Pelosi?

I see our Republican friends in DC have gotten all hot and bothered about food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, and other social safety net programs helping poor folks. It's almost as if they are waging a war on the poor. There's this radical socialist who also believes there's a war on the poor.
So what you are saying is that "the poor" (i.e. government dependents) have first "dibs" on the income and wealth generated by others and can, and should, be able to dictate how much and to whom that purloined wealth should be distributed?

Amazing. Yet libs really believe this crap.
.....how are you getting that? Plenty of fat fats get wealth generated by others to help them. Look at the entire military industrial complex.... But hey..... the POOR are the real threat.......
Another, poor ppl be bad.
Corporations and the very wealthy need more money to "trickle down".
The poor will always be the poor because at minimum wage, even if you increase it will still be minimum wage... the only difference is by increasing it, you now put those weren't poor into the poor category because they are now making minimum wage... Do we need all these safety net programs? Of course... are they rampant with abuse?? Yes... so you are arguing that any attempts to stop the abuse which is basically STEALING from the poor is a war on the poor? A liberals stance that we should allow the programs to be abused and the abusers are basically stealing from the poor and that's okay? Who is waging the real war on the poor?
