What have the poor done to deserve our support?

[editec]

They piss off Rabbi Doucheberg here for one.

Its so obvious that this pathetic little racist is terrified of people, isn't it?

What have the poor done to deserve our support?

The bottom 50% of the population make it possible for the upper 50% to be so.

Sans that lower 50%, half the top 50% would become the lower 50%.

You are obviously projecting when you call someone who you don't know simple, you stupid fuck.

 

[Rocko]

The poor are the ones who fill our military. The poor are the ones who die for their country

WTF are you blathering about?

What percent of the wealthy are fighting for their country?

You always think in terms of division, on every issue, if it's not race it's wealth or something else. you have a sickness.

 

[NYcarbineer]

There have been times in the past, perhaps to this day, when some military families qualified for food stamps, and perhaps other government 'handouts'.

In frequent threads here the brain-dead leftists moan about how the "idle rich" (like there is such a thing) don't deserve their money. But look at the other side. The poor in this country enjoy a lifestyle envied by even middle class people in most of the world. What have they done to deserve this? The idlest of the idle rich invest money and help other hard working people get ahead. The poor simply absorb tax payer funding and have babies.

You should ask all the Christian Churches who give millions to the poor in one form or another.

If the poor do not deserve such charity, then Christianity is a religion with a very serious fundamental flaw...

...to the point, perhaps of being an enabler of sloth and irresponsibility.

 

[sealybobo]

Clearly we need the poor to have money in their pockets so they can buy our goods and services.

And the rich use them to build their empires.

When did a poor person ever create a job? Last time he had money in his pockets. Before Bush took office. That's when.

Churches keep the poor down like Republicans accuse Democrats of doing. They break them off a piece, but they never solve the problem.

But the government can fix NAFTA and bring jobs back home. They can kick illegals out so jobs are available again, at a decent wage.

Lyrics from Arrestive Development Song:

Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright
Just pray so you can see the pearly gates so white
The lady prays and prays and prays and prays
and prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlasting
"There's nothing wrong with praying ?" It's what she's asking
She's asking the Lord to let her cope
so one day she can see the golden ropes
What you pray for God will give
to be able to cope in this world we live
The word "cope" and the word "change"
is directly opposite, not the same
She should have been praying to change her woes
but pastor said "Pray to cope with those"
The government is happy with most baptist churches
coz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurture
brothers and sisters on a revolution
Baptist teaches dying is the only solution

In spite of the fact that this argument has been made numerous times here....we never seem to see any of the dug-in nutters acknowledge the truth in it.

When lots of people have money to buy necessities AND a few bucks to spend on wants AND a few bucks to save and invest..........................we all benefit. I sure wish that every McDonalds employee had a the cash to remodel their kitchen.

Now that's circular thinking. You answered your own question in your first sentence. The 'poor' create jobs through their spending habits.

Exactly, when it is corrupted by Socialist Influence, exactly. Great point. Spot on.

Don't talk to me. Talk to your "Jesus".

The only problem with your point is that you have not yet learned to distinguish between Charity and Forced Compliance. Learn to give voluntarily, from your Heart RD.

Now give me your wallet, with everything in it. Give me a big smile and a hug too.

 

[The Rabbi]

Idiot. There are some people in between jobs. That happens. FWIW local churches and other benevolent orgs are far better equipped to deal with those situations than the gov't.
But that's not what I'm talking about. I am talking about the perpetual non-working, who continue to receive benefits as a right.
As to your rant, during most of Bush's tenure the UE rate was about 5%. Meanwhile there was lots of off shoring going on. So off shoring does not cause job loss. Actually for every job exported three more are created domestically.
In the 1980s you doubtless did not have a cell phone (few people did). You ached for the time you could get 10 cents a minute for calling. Today your calls are largely free based on a flat rate and you can make them almost anywhere.

OH, so you are talking about the Welfare Queen that Reagan talked about that didn't really exist. Are we going to talk about unicorns next? Lepruchauns?

The Unemployment rate isn't that important. a 5% unemployment rate where everyone has McJobs isn't an improvement. I would much rather have the Clinton UE of 3.9% where you could throw out a resume and get a better paying job in a month that you barely qualified for than the 6.3% UE of Bush where you couldn't get a job you totally qualified for because you were competing against 40 other guys who were just as qualifed.

Offshoring replaced good paying manufacturing jobs with service McJobs. That was NOT an improvement, guy. Bloodletting is not a valid medical treatment, either. We send out 500 billion in wealth every year to other countries, that's not a good thing.

I am talking about generations of unemployed and unemployable people. Don't tell me they dont exist. You ought to know better.
Your comparison of the Bush years with the Clinton years is a joke. But I have effectively refuted your point: off shoring was going like crazy during hte Bush years and there was more manufacturing going on here and less unemployment.
I am sorry you cannot compete against guys more qualified than you. Night school maybe?

There is no 'reward' criteria implicit in charity pr charitable acts:

Vocational School. Trade School. Charter Schools work Miracles in some of the most impoverished areas of NYC. Unfortunately the Teachers Union's work to discredit them. Bottom line good study habits happen best when the kids are reached earlier on.

And despite the fact that their way didn't work, won't work, isn't going to work, they will never admit it. Look at how bad things were in 2008 and they basically voted for another 4 years of Bush. That's how brainwashed they are.

Thank God for the 99%ers' They seem to understand the system is rigged. I think most of them are going to vote for Obama again. The economy is getting better and Mitt is against them.

But man are a lot of middle class and even poor Americans brainwashed. I've narrowed it down to God, Gays and Guns. Flat out ignorants. Racist, Stubborness. Or they even might actually possess a gene that you and I don't have. Greed, bitter, always think somoenes out to get theirs. Not realizing they benefit too when we are all in this together.

And I know a lot of very good people who are voting Republican. They have been brainwashed by Fox and/or Rush. But again, they must have the gene that makes them seseptable to it, because all I get from watching Fox is mad.

People have been brainwashed. Now they are set in their ways. All we can do is hope they wake up or stop voting.
