frick that. There is no reason to be poor in this country or in Europe if you work hard enough.

Bad luck happens to people in any country. I've seen my share of people that work hard and are still poor. A lady who works two jobs with a bad back to keep the bills payed and the basic healthcare she needs. She still needs a little help because her skill set is limited and she can't exactly go to school because she has to keep working 60+ hours to live.

Another lady I worked with in my slumming between college days had a decent life going. Then her alcoholic husband beat her arse and left her to raise the three kids and only sometimes payed child support. The point is, there are real people who work hard and sometimes need a little help. The meme of the right is that they are all just lacking the moral fortitude to work.

There are free-riders. The welfare queen meme that Reagan started. There are also a lot of people who've had some shite luck or lack the education and skills they need to get much farther. The conservative types who latch on to the all poors are lazy and want handouts are the ones who associate welfare with black folks.

Then you decide poor people vote Democrat because they want free stuff when you've spent years telling them they are lazy and want handouts. I wonder why they aren't more receptive to your message?
