My son, 23, works HARD for his money and barely makes $20K a year. I’m sure he’s not looking for sympathy because he understands his lot in life. Other than my wife and I, he relies on no one to provide him assistance. Good for him - it appears that we’ve raised him to be a responsible adult.

It’s no wonder the ‘pubs get a bad name amongst those less fortunate than others. Blanket statements such as “And I’m supposed to have sympathy for the ‘poor’? (sic) Ain’t gonna happen.” is the EXACT mentality that the left uses to attack the right.

You know alot of them do you? ‘Poor’ people that is. And you know for certainity that they are bloodsucking leeches?

Not all ‘poor’ people are as you paint them. Various times in my own life I’ve been in that bracket myself but I have never voted my liberty away and I’ve never lived off the government...EVER. Plenty of hardworking people in the rural areas fall into category.

Ironic, isn't it, that the segment of Americans most likely to feel the full brunt of Obama’s disastrous policies are the very people who still support him?

Sometimes I think that there are a certain percentage of people in this country who are just full out, flat-assed, incurably stupid.

basically he is down to welfare recipients and blacks who vote based on skin color alone.

Never mind....if I say it that dumb little black kid will show up and call me a racist.

What makes you think he's dumb? I can see calling the video dumb, but...

My son and his wife have 4 children. He has been active military for 11 years. Anytime an unexpected bill comes up,I get the phone call. “Can I help” I will never say no to them as I know how hard my son works and my DIL does odd jobs as well as went back to school. I am proud of them both and will help them as long as I am able. Other family members, not so much. Especially the Bambi voter/supporters. They can kiss my a**... Sorry but that’s it. I’ve had it.

I try not to assume level of intelligence/education and voter status based on skin color.

I can see calling the video stupid, but calling the kid stupid based on his skin color alone isn’t something I’d do.

I know of many ‘rich’ people that think nothing of using illegal workers for lawncare just so they can save a few bucks.

No they voted for hope and change, just as the media and their parents trained them to do.

If they’re “earning” less than $24k, they’re getting another $24k in tax free benefits.

That resentment is an intentional consequence of the left’s policies -

divide and conquer.

‘Sometimes I think that there are a certain percentage of people in this country who are just full out, flat-assed, incurably stupid. “

And for that I blame their parents and the generation that allowed this to happen.

Yes, "feel" instead of "think" and become an instrument of destruction for those who hate America.
