Think about it. The poor have no power. They can't manipulate markets or events. What do they have to do with the global financial crisis or the staggering rise in the cost of oil over the last several years?
Maybe the people don't hate the lazy freeloaders as much as they used to because the EBT cards and subsidized rents never seemed to have the same impact as unchecked greed is having now.

The poor are the largest voting block in the entire country. And who do you think they vote for? He who give away the most. They are pandered too (used) and treated in a very condescending manner by the party they contually vote for and keep in office.
By the way my sister has one of those health cards and she works full-time. Her husband did too until recently. I think what you pay is pro-rated based on income.
