In some ways, he is. I know you're trying to set a trap for him, but there are able bodied people who choose not to work, who use excuses for not bettering themselves. Not everybody, not a majority even.
There's a certain segment of posters who are all about pulling oneself up from his or her bootstraps - - as long as the pulling up isn't to a height where others feel bad about themselves.
Who's talking about people that don't work? We're talking about people that moved to the west coast. He never said the people in his hometown don't work. He just said he had more high income potential on the west coast. So that means he's better than them?
Poor/low income whites believe that the only thing stopping them from taking their rightful place on top of the totem pole is black and brown people. They are masters at playing the blame game as you can even see on this very forum.
But the Republican party need these people to win elections so every two to four years they rattle their cage with the same rhetoric...gun rights, welfare reform (which a huge percentage of these people are on but think that welfare reform means kicking black and brown off only), affirmative action (which benefits white women more than any other group), crime and drugs (the unspoken heroine epidemic in rural white America which no one seems to want to discuss).
So the reason that lower and working class whites aren't required or asked to lift themselves up is because they don't believe that they need to do so. They just need to get 'others' out of their way and then people with 10th grade educations will all have jobs in factories and coal mines making $80k plus per year.
Way to stereotype working-class whites there, gladhands. You and other Progressives assume all working class white rust-belt and Appalachia Americans are uneducated, unemployed, unemployable, and polluting "the water we drink". And the democrats wonder why they continue to lose elections.
From what he's said in other threads I believe he's a social worker in Pittsburgh. I wonder if his clients pick up on his attitude.
Yeah you're going to see support for the Republicans drop pretty fast when these people in Appalachia start losing their Medicaid and disability benefits. They bought into the right wing propaganda for years but it really never affected them so they were happy to stick it to the little guy along with their wealthy overlords. Now it's going to start affecting them directly. The Republicans are already bracing themselves for the s*** storm that's coming.
On another note, I rather like reading comments from cocky right wingers. It's going to make it all the more enjoyable when their egos come crashing down in 2018.
I'm not interested in debating hypotheticals or replying further to the stereotypes you are asserting.

Exalted data entry jobs of the new age dont require much of anything a HS dropout with a smart phone cannot figure out.
There are still data entry jobs? Really?
