And who's fault is this? The american that needs $35.00 an hour to survive because they want two SUV's ETC ETC

"When Industry shuts down factory's and moves hundreds of thousands of Jobs overseas...TA-DA....you have Poor."

Look above and also most people think they are to good to start at the bottom and work their way up. Everything is owed to them from the GOV etc etc

"Simple math.....if you have 100,000,000 people that need jobs and you have 90,000,000 jobs you end up w/ 10,000,000 people with out jobs. these people tend to be poor..."

You choose to be poor when you sit home and collect welfare when you are able to work.
You choose to be poor when living off your girlfriend who collects welfare.
You choose to be poor when your working at Mcdonalds and don't better yourself.
I have even seen people in wheelchairs working so if they can do it most anyone can.
ETC ETC I could go on forever.

"Not everyone chooses to be poor, sometimes its just $hit Luck. There are plenty of poor people that would jump at the opportunity for a steady income for there families and would work there asses off too."

I wouldn't say plenty but there are some.

"There are also plenty of Rich people s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g on the Government Tit and making tons of money that haven't done a hard days work in there entire life."

More power to him for not having to dig ditches.
How many Ditches do you think ole' GB and his brother have dug in there lifetime??

So they can afford shoes but can't work

Don't judge a man unless you've walked a mile in his shoes

Wow talk about a skewed outlook on life......I think I've heard this same spiel before, but Where......Oh yeah Now I remember.


2ND GENTLEMAN:
At this festive season of the year, Mr
Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable
that we should make some slight provision
for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly
at the present time. Many thousands are in
want of common necessities; hundreds of
thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.

SCROOGE
Are there no prisons?

2ND GENTLEMAN
Plenty of prisons.

SCROOGE
And the Union workhouses? Are they still in operation?

1ST GENTLEMAN
They are. Still. I wish I could say they were not.

SCROOGE
The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?

1ST GENTLEMAN
Both very busy, sir.

SCROOGE
Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at
first, that something had occurred to
stop them in their useful course. I'm
very glad to hear it.

1ST GENTLEMAN
Under the impression that they scarcely
furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to
the multitude, a few of us are attempting to
raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and
drink, and means of warmth. What shall I
put you down for?

SCROOGE
Nothing!

1ST GENTLEMAN
You wish to be anonymous?

SCROOGE
I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me
what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer.
I don't make merry myself at Christmas and
I can't afford to make idle people merry.
I help to support the establishments I have
mentioned: they cost enough: and those who
are badly off must go there.

1ST GENTLEMAN
Many can't go there; and many would rather die.

SCROOGE
If they would rather die, they had better
do it, and decrease the surplus population.



I will also remember to treat the Guy at McDonalds w/ Contempt next time I go there......after all, even though he's working, its such a waste of time......Hell if your going to work there you might as well go on welfare...
