Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
To quote Bobert ... 'Well, myslef, I've heard Bill Cosby a few times an' what he basically says is "pull yourselves up by your boot straps"... He isn't into programs... Hey, he's a rich guy, ain't he??? He is no spokesman for black folks... He represents the ruling class...' He represents the 'common-sense' class, if you ask me. Americans whine about taxes, are about an inch from causing a world-wide economic collapse, and are holding record deficits, but people like Bobert want a whole raft of new social programs to help the lazy. Hey, I don't mind helping those who truly need it, therein lies the rub. Who IS that ??
