25 years or so ago, I was traveling around the US and purchased a license plate sized sign that clearly stated "I'm fighting poverty! I work!!!" I propped it up in my rear window and headed for home in the Sierra foothills between Reno and Sacramento.

Soon afterward, while driving home from Sacramento one night some driver pulled up really close behind me and began flashing his high beams on me and soon pulled up along side and as I glanced over I could see him shaking his fist at me and signaling to pull over!

I had Mrs. Wasp with me or I might have done just that because his behavior was strange and it hadn't occurred to me why he might be either helpful, or hostile. So I just ignored him after checking my gauges and my mirrors to see if I was blowing smoke, or not.

Long story short, the guy wouldn't stop chasing and acting more and more threatening till I finally out maneuvered him and lost him. We finaly remembered the adamant sign I had in the back window and now that I see this article and heard Rush talking about it today, I know exactly what made this obvious left tilting liberal so upset!

He knew that the sign could not be more literally correct and that the 20 Trillion dollars taken by force from taxpayers was as much wasted as he probably thought the money being taken and spent on the war on drugs was being wasted!!! I'll bet the author of this article thinks the same way, but would never admit any kind of moral equivalence and maybe there isn't any. I don't know.

More correctly, you fight poverty by working and being married to the mother of your children. Those are the best indicators for avoiding poverty...
