I recall many years ago when I was on a job down in which I needed to interview some hotel chain employees on a resort island in the Caribbean. I believe it was when LBJ was president. I arrived and checked into a cheaper businessman hotel (on per diem) and the next day going to the resort and found them terribly angry and upset. It seems a large group of tourists checked in several days before from Harlem and accosted their security and other guests, scared the guests with their animal behavior and stole everything not nailed down. I asked how could such people afford staying at a posh resort. The manager said he has had a few other such groups just not as bad as these. He was told the welfare department takes the position that since people with money get to go on nice vacations, poor people should have the same “right.” So the taxpayer provided them a ritzy vacation so they could have some dignity or whatever they called it.
I heard this from a Carnival employee two to three years ago. Obama is buddies with the CEO of Carnival and they had a program to fill ships with folks that were too poor to cruise on their own. More of your and my tax money to put the disadvantaged on ships and balance out the diversity at sea.
