Thread Name: BS: F*** the Poor
Subject: RE: BS: F*** the Poor
"By their mouths shall ye know them..."
O'Reilly, Palin, Hannity, Coulter and others talking about how the poor are not paying their way, have absolutely a free ride, "have no skin in the game", there are 'makers and there are takers', "51% of Americans pay no federal income taxes- zero. zip. nada,", "99% of American poor have a refrigerator".
On and on. Not a clue, not a scintilla of understanding of what it is to worry about whether your money will last the month, whether they can afford a new dress or new shoes for school, whether their child has a chance of getting into college if his or her grades slip and therefore might not have a chance at a better future, whether their child might givs up and become a school drop out. And all the daily worries in between.
Do you mean you can't watch the video Richard posted, gnu? It comes through well here. Can you read the comments?
Richard, the whole thing runs less than 10 minutes.
