It’s only a handout if you’re, like, a regular person. If you’re a giant corporation or a billionaire, it’s your just due.

I guess the Wall Street Journal wasn’t around for the bailouts ten years ago for the people who nearly destroyed ours and subsequently the world’s economies.

Which would rather see… a family raised out of poverty but with increased dependence on entitlements, or that family starving to death “independently”?
-
Imagine a family that had health care, safe schools where teachers were adequately paid, and not shamed for being poor.

Phil Gramm is absolutely right - the weak corporate laws that allowed those associated with Enron to pocket the money and walk away, have created a class of entitled, government dependent, scam artists. Know what I mean, Phil?

F**k him, he helped get rid of the Glass-Steagall Act which cost the working class billions of savings and wealth. Today banks have trillions sitting idle while an majority of Americans can't survive a minor financial emergency.

Government has never committed to end poverty, only do enough so that there aren't riots in the streets or create dependencies.

Government can only rescue the rich by giving trillion dollar handouts and charging the largest corporations a lower tax rate than people who pay payroll tax. I call bullshit. The GI bill and taxing the richest Americans created the first middle class in the world.

You say this yet policy has everything to do with poverty. Taxes , tariffs, county to international. It is all connected. If everything I need is made somewhere else, how will I afford it.
-
If all that is left is clerks , house keepers , & porters,. How will we afford to live. You cause this with your reckless trading . Yet blame us for being poor. Then you DON'T even want to pay taxes so that we can have at the very least ( universal basic income)
-
Right now a person at the bottom of the pay scale has to work fifteen hours a day , just to survive.
-
At that rate we will drop like flies. You are trying to kill us. Yet want us to feel bad about your profits & taxes.
-
Two full time , bottom , jobs, that lead no where. No pension. No overtime, no nothing, just work you to death on bottom wages.

Please DON'T try to sell me on communal living. Free social life , smoothing of rough edges, network. Pffft. ( bitch please). Lack of privacy, hygiene, promiscuity.

Co signing on a path of destruction. Oh no. Who are you trying to fool. The Devil is a liar that leads you into temptation. Fast & easy will kill you.
