You don't know shit about the poor. If it was up to you, poor people would have NOTHING. No food stamps, no cash aid, no UI.
Just like in India. I've been to third world countries. It's not a pretty picture. They have no welfare, no charities, no food stamps, no shelters, nothing.
If that's what you want, move there.
Old people in the US freeze to death because they can't afford utilities. They go hungry, because they have to choose between medicine and food.
In my county, 20% of our population is unemployed. Without UI and food stamps a lot of people would go hungry.
Forgive me ...but i know plenty about the poor.
If it was up to me... the requirements for assistance would be very strict. Quite a difference. If you want the assistance... follow the rules. If the rules are to much for you... feel free to not accept it. Rather simple.
This is FAR from a third world country. So comparing the two is dishonest of you. I am sure anyone in a thrid world country would trade places with the "poor" here... and i would LOVE to see the "poor" here try and eek out a life in a third world country... maybe they would stop complaining about their privileged lives for once.
Old people are not the healthy young and able....
Old people are not the ones having children they cant afford.
Look toots. I don't know what state you're living in, but in my state the rules for getting cash aid are damn strict.
If it was up to you, we wouldn't have any cash aid, UI or food stamps. Like it or not, poor kids need their parents. If they can't find work, they need help.
That is, unless you'd rather we mimicked India, and took care of nobody.
The poor in America ARE more fortunate. Would you rather we hold our heads high and care for our people or be more like a third world country?
YOU don't get to sterilize poor people. That is so Nazi.
Can I also ask you two to take this somewhere else, so that this thread does not get derailed?
Thanks.
