you brainwashed functional morons do blame the poor. As Mario Cuomo said, Reagan made it acceptable to blame the poor -you think everyone got lazy and stupid magically.
No, it was done through social programs. It's like Rush Limbaugh said so many times: If you pay people not to work, don't be too surprised when they don't! When you give people a way out if they make irresponsible decisions, what we create is more irresponsible people.
Which horse will pull the cart, a horse you feed carrots to all day, or a horse you don't but dangle a carrot in front if it's face?
When they passed a bill to add 600 a week on top of state unemployment, many unemployed workers were making more on unemployment than they did working. If somebody is going to pay you more to not work than work, what's the choice? As it turns out, employers were having a tough time getting their employees back to work when they re-opened up their business. Why would you go back to work makiong 500 bucks a week when you can stay on unemployment making 1,000 a week?
