Sigh.

I didn't say **** the poor. I said that most (not all) of them, have nobody butthemselves, and maybe their parents, to blame fo rthe fact that they are poor.

Nebe, look at it from the other angle. Two similar kids in high school, same potential. One works hard, does everything right, graduates from college, gets a good job.

The other drinks and smokes pot, barely graduates from high school, now earns minimum wage at McDonalds and is stuck.

Nebe, does the first person deserve to enjoy the rewards of his work and good decisions, or not? If you think that person deserves to enjoy the fruits of his labor, you are a Republican. If you think the first person is obligated to hand over much of what he worked for to even off teh outcome between the two, you are a Democrat. There it is.

I don't want anyone starving. But I won't lose one second's sleep if someone who chose to slack, can't afford a TV or a cell phone.
