(802 posts)Tough enough a struggle working my way through college in the 80's. Rent was high enough then to be prohibitive, and I was homeless many times through those years. I'll never forget when GHBushie was asked what he'd do about the homeless, stated "I see a thousand points of light". In other words, nothing.
Republicans have always done anything to stack the deck favoring the rich lavishly and kicking the poor. Americans could not get over their starry-eyed emulation of the "Lifestyles of the rich and famous" that many made incredibly poor decisions, politcally. Now I've seen where the crap they used to throw blew right back in their faces with the last economic crash... and woke the fuck up.
I'm truly astounded that anyone can be convinced of Fox Noose's mountain of ignorance after that. But I've seen on a site called SodaHead, which seems to have a large number of right wingers commenting, the same pattern of ignorant lies and "talking points" hammered into them by the Fox propaganda machine.
Where do they get the idea cutting benefits for the poor helps anything at all?

Did I mention pukes and the richies who use them should all go fuck themselves? Cause I meant to mention that.

You know what? Fuck you.

(468 posts)After pointing out that the rich got rich off of selling their products to the people they are screwing over.
The answer is simple. It is all about power. The people with power have gotten pretty much all the power they can get by enriching themselves. All that is left is bringing the rest of us down. The weaker we are the greater the power difference.
I can only hope it will bite them in the long run. Eventually we will reach a tipping point where people aren't going to stand for it anymore and something will happen. Let's just hope when that time comes violence isn't part of the process of reclaiming the world from these people.
