More so with the Stones.
@fbf I've spent the last 15 years in the trenches of the "helping" industrial complex. My ex was in it for 20ish years. My girl has been in it for 4 years. I sort of know my way around the System. I'm not for the people who need help to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps". I'm all for helping the people who need help. And I think defining those in need is pretty easy. The girl and I were smoking a bowl in the backyard last night kind of going over the day. She copped to giving money to the legless guy without with the "Need money for cancer drugs" sign outside the Walmart. True or not, I don't know. But yes, I think it's a crime in this country that a guy with no legs doesn't get his cancer drugs for free. The System needs to weed out the people who are riding it who don't need it. That, and make it more easily accessible to the people who do need it.
I guess it just confuses me that you're so concerned about everyone being taken care of, while at the same it makes you happy when folks from Oklahoma die. Personally, I think you're less about helping people and more about punishing people who make more money than you, as a totally inconsequential person, thinks they should. You'd be more than happy for poor people to live in even greater poverty as long as anyone you'd consider rich (I imagine the definition of "rich" would be anyone that makes a loonie more than you) is a little less rich.
I'm pretty sure you know better than the bullshit you spout. If you actually do, I'm sure whatever government largess you get is well deserved.
You seem to be under the school that poverty only exists because of the unequal distribution of capitalism it's self. Even in my most hyperbolic and trolish nothing I've said is remotely as disgusting as they views you and others seem to hold that american life is of higher value those anywhere else in the world. It's not that the rich are rich it's the means of human capital used to achieve it's goals.....Not to mention we're on a board where laughing at the misfortune and debasement of other's is the norm, sorry if I can't squeeze a tear out of my dick for the poor little oakies at the moment. Do you really give a shit anyways? You've won, the right have won and will continue to win, so congratulations. ...I did enjoy the little subliminal "pot smoking republican" jab you inserted.
