The aim of the liberal establishment in California is to drive the poor people out of the State with their high tax, anti-job agenda. The only poor people they want are those who tend their gardens and clean their mansions.
PJ thinks all poor people are drunks?
California has some of the most generous welfare benefits in the country. They want poor people who will stay on the reservation and vote DemocRat.
Your average white liberal absolutely hates the poor.
They wont live by them, and they don’t want to associate with them unless they can use them for political purposes.
He's Irish. ;^)
Maybe he thinks the only way you could stay poor in America is by going through life in a drunken stupor...
I disagree, they love poor people, that’s why they want more of them.
“Smoking kills smokers, which...drives up the cost of a single-payer national health care system”
Not true. The reason Medicare and Social Security are so broke now is because people ARE NOT smoking, as smokers tend to die young (i.e., before SS) and quickly - relative to people that live into their 80s and 90s.
Why am I a slave? Why are some people slaves, and others masters? Was there ever a time when this was not so? How did the relation commence?
Once, however, engaged in the inquiry, I was not very long in finding out the true solution of the matter. It was not color, but crime, not God, but man, that afforded the true explanation of the existence of slavery; nor was I long in finding out another important truth, viz: what man can make, man can unmake. .. .
I distinctly remember being, even then, most strongly impressed with the idea of being a free man some day. This cheering assurance was an inborn dream of my human nature-a constant menace to slavery-and one which all the powers of slavery were unable to silence or extinguish.
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
I would like to see a study using the amount of taxes collected on tobacco, versus the money used for their health care. I am willing to bet, that the government is actually subsidizing non smokers at a very high rate. I still remember when the lawsuits happened, and the states were going to fund healthcare for smokers. Instead, they mixed it into the general fund, and it disappeared into the coffers of the thieves and liars....I mean lawyers.
Libtard programs, in the long run, end up hurting the people they are trying to help.Pro-labor and pro-union legislation which raise average wage rates too high,cause increase in unemployment for the least productive and least skilled. Raising taxes on the rich is an assault on saving resulting in decrease in the demand for labor which increases unemployment and slows down increase in average money wage rates.
No, the elite reserve the emotion of hatred for the middle class, the petit bourgeoisie who have the audacity to demand lives of their own and to resist the dictates of their betters. This hatred percolates visibly through the elite of the academy, the elite of entertainment, the elite of popular communications, the elite of the political structure. It is not the poor who threaten the status of the elite, it is the middle class who threaten, and who actually have the ability, to displace them.
Marx was very clear about where the threat to a proletarian revolution led by an elite vanguard lay - it was in the middle class, and the history of utopian Marxism is the history of warfare on the middle class. Pol Pot addressed the issue with axes and garden hoes in the killing fields. Mao had done the same a decade earlier. Che Guevara hated no one as he did the very middle class from which he originated. Engels, the same.
This is a hatred that cannot be placated, reasoned with, or bought off. These are real enemies and their intention is real violence.
The Liberals use the poor for fodder to gain the system. There is no shortage of ideas or causes they use to ‘raise’ money which of course requires 90% overhead.
They create a problem that they ‘solve’.
This article was amazingly realistic —both the grit of the poor, and the flash of the wealthy.
This article is fist-in-your-face brilliant.
The left is comprised of many, many stupid non thinking fools who can’t see past their nose. They are, however; good at being dumb a$$e robots.
