You should watch Food, Inc. It discusses that very premise, high fructose corn syrup. Pandering right into the hands of the poor.
Strangely enough, when a local politician here in SF suggested imposing a $0.02 per ounce tax on soda to fund children's health initiatives, everyone -- left, right, and center -- went absolutely bonkers. The liberals shrieked that it would be a regressive tax on the poor; and the righties, what few there are, produced their usual whines about nanny-statism.
As someone who drinks maybe one can of soda every six months, I just don't get it.
When all of those conservatives start whining about having to pay for birth control and start up about how "immoral" abortion is ...and have made sure that poor people are denied access to it, can they really be surprised how the OP's "Family of Failure" is the result?
Hispanic people are usually Catholic and usually vote Democrat. The Catholic Church is against birth control and abortion. The problem is clearly those extremist left-wing religious zealots.
doesn't this isht ever get old to you RWNJs? are these poor people really the ones threatening the prosperity of the shrunken middle class? no. the real death of America is coming to you courtesy of the rich elitists and their henchmen, the politicians, who are doing everything they can to destroy the middle class while telling you to "look over there! she's taking all your money getting over on food stamps!"
Bill Maher says it best in this clip. I'm not the biggest fan of Maher but he's got it down in this one. Conservatives are nothing but one big contradiction.
Actually, because our country has a progressive tax system, yes, they are. No. Inform yourself...
When a government is over-reliant on the highest income earners for tax revenue, as is the U.S., it creates a perverse incentive to keep the income gap as wide as possible so that tax revenue is maximized. The more our country has to spend on social welfare programs, the more the government needs to keep the income gap as wide as possible in order to collect the taxes necessary to fund the growing welfare programs.
By supporting a 'soak the rich' mentality, the left, middle class, or whoever, is gullibly and willingly participating in their own economic suppression.

this might all make sense if welfare programs weren't a relatively small part of where our tax dollars are spent. the money spent on the poor has nothing to do with the way the rich provide low wage jobs or ship jobs overseas.
A doctor's appointment after eating a breakfast paid for by food stamps? Gee, I wonder who will be paying for that medical visit!
Of course, when a conservative steps up to try to put a stop to this madness, Democrats and liberals demagogue them (us) to death for trying to deprive little Juan or Tyrone or Jimmy of his Fruity Pebbles!
This woman is the THE PERFECT example of failed liberal ideology. She's the child of immigrants. She's fat. She's disabled. She does not work. She receive's food stamps. She has 5 obese children.
Is there a more perfect example of how liberals and liberalism are the death of America?
Are. You. Kidding. Me????? For YEARS liberals have been toting the benefits of healthy eating. YEARS!!!!! We have a freakin' First Lady whose #1 agenda is fighting obesity with healthy nutrition & exercise. And you have the freakin' GALL to now ignore all of this & blame obesity on liberals? You are a piece of work, truly. This is the perfect example of hypocrisy at its finest. What a joke.
American black people love grape drink and kool-aid, so the first one is obvious.
The second one is obvious due to the sushi.
dafuq? americans in general love their sugary drinks. why can't we just say the first one is an American family and be done with it. CD never misses an opportunity to take jabs at black people.
