Why is it constantly brought up that the poor are starving in debates like these? People on welfare eat better than I am right now. -_- They're far from starving.

The rich got where they were by hard work - education and dedication. These days there's no excuse for someone to be working jobs at Sears in the long-term unless they had kids early on or dropped/flunked out of highschool for their own reasons.

Not always. I understand J. Paul Getty was given a million dollars for his 21st birthday. Not a bad start. This also includes televangelists like Robertson and Swaggart, who got rich from donations, much of which comes from people who can scarcely afford it.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
