Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
And what about the preditory lending practices that the ruling class has entered into in order to keep their 10-plus% return on their wealth...

Why are they entitiled to 10-plus%??? They produce nuthing!!!

The "cleaning lady" produces more than most rich people... Rich people aren't part of out economy... They cheat more frequestly on their taxes... They don't create wealth... All they do is, ahhhh, nuthin' but eat grapes and hire PR firms to convince Southern Man to keep them richy...

That's about it in a nut-shell...

Th8is is waht poverty is about... These rich people have hired the right PR firms to ***frame*** some purdy decent programs as evil and sold it to Southern Man who in turn has gone to polls and kept rich people in power....

Thus, juast about every Great Society program is either dead or on life support... This isn't rhetoric, folks, it's what is going down...

Bottom line, if the rich don't want a revolution, violent ot not, they are going to have to learn to share 'cause it it unacceptable for the wealthiest country in the weastern hemisphere to have such a high number of folks in poverty...

Just adding $5B to child care would keep over a million single moms working for the crappy $8 an hour... Heck, the wealthy in the US steal that much in unreported or undereported taxable income every month of the year....

People ain't askin' no one for handouts... Just a fair shake in this economy...
