In other words, they are takers no matter which way you look at it.
They learn how to do what they can to survive... if all you can hope for is the bottom, then crime becomes infinitely more attractive. Chances are they're surrounded by it to begin with.

But that's what conservatives believe. That is why every discussion of any and every societal problem for conservatives comes down to oh there are millions of bottom feeders, low class people who won't learn, won't work and who expect the government to take care of them.

That is the conservative view for the most part.

The working poor are not the bottom feeders. It's people on welfare who are able but refuse to work who are the bottom feeders. How many times do you have to be told this?

Oh and I love the argument liberals throw out. Well if they don't get welfare they'll rob people. Just finding another way to take what they didn't earn.

If you are one of those people who are struggling did it ever occur to you to stop being so hard headed and at least consider what someone who is more successful is saying. Of course not but then you want them to invest their time in you. Since you already think you know it all wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Raising taxes without cutting out all waste first simply empowers more waste.
Do I think the ultra wealthy can afford more taxes? Absolutely. I think they should pay more too, but that won't change anything for the bottom feeders.
Fictional and delusional and again so predictable.

This is who conservatives are their analysis of the world is that the bottom feeders can't be helped and they are ok with life being unfair, why make it better, when it's just going to be unfair and plus you have all of these worthless bottom feeders that can't be helped.
This is the conservative analysis of social problems pure hatred and ignorance.

So the only way they know to survive is to take what isn't theirs, something they did nothing to earn? And you excuse that?

Are you saying that we don't have a large number of people that you described? Care to take a trip to Kentucky, West Va, Alabama, the ghettos of Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore?
We have prisons filled with such who elect to steal from others rather than attempt an honest life.

They are what they think. They won't even consider another point of view. They know it all. So how can they be helped? Why would anyone want to invest their time in helping them? They already know everything.

More irrelevant nonsense about a screen name that you don't know making projections based on your own personal ignorance.

What a worthless post, but this is the conservative mode oh you have a problem with how conservatives think about the world and there huge tendency to demean and insult millions of people as worthless bottom feeders who can't be helped well you must be a loser too. So predictable and boring. Smh.
