Dickey BS: Poverty in the USA (1252* d) RE: BS: Poverty in the USA 07 Jun 07


Bobert:

To make a class of the rich people is like saying Black people are responsible for this or Mexicans are responsible for that. You who spout off about bigotry are blind to your own bigotry.

Suppose I said poor people are responsible for crime or black people are responsible for the murders?

You have to take things on a person by person or company by company basis. Is every used car dealer a crook? Every politician? George Soros, John Kerry, Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, John Edwards, Ted Kennedy are all wealthy but no doubt you will think they are great. I have associated with rich folks and most of them are so nice they make you feel good just to talk to them. They know how to lift your spirits and bring out the best in people. I also know a few rich greedy assholes that try to beat you down an demand more and more.

Why don't you draw your bead on MS13, drug pushers, credit card companies, rap artists with lyrics like find'em fuck'em and flee as a source of problems for poor people? Teenage unwed pregnancy and dropping out of school?

To me, Citicorp is a prime example of an evil company that tries to entrap niaeve young people into an 18 to 24% credit card debt that they will never be able to pay off. Their profit margin is mich higher than Exxon but you focus on Exxon as being evil. How does Exxon entrap poor people into anything?

You just look for the biggest easiest targets and claim they are the reason for poverty. Is it too hard to identify the real culprits and go after them? Is it too much trouble to try to separate the good from the bad or do you lack the judgement?

A lot or maybe most of the rich folks you are issuing a blanket comdenation on are cash cows that can be milked instead of killed and eaten.
