>>>And here we get to the fundamental point - a "war on poverty" for 50 years, a government trying to do something about it, and making matters worse.
Very easy to snipe- but how would you resolve it? Let me guess- tell people to get a (nonexistent) job and take a bath? Or blame Obama and all will come right?
You may be feeling comfy right now, but you're in the looters' spotlights now because there's slim pickins amongst the poor and you're a juicy target for harvest.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
