Woa

[PaulS]

Face it, you show no compassion here for anyone less fortunate than you. So they're ignorant rabble?

Read an article a few months ago by a Dr. who describes how the "Underclass" is created. It starts with a breakdown of the Family and government gets them hooked on welfare.

Also makes the discinction between being "Poor" and impoverished.

right...a permanent dependent underclass to keep you in power and provide evidence regarding the success of your various "created" programs to keep them keeping you in power...from a Statist's point of view, growing numbers from any class dependent on their programs is evidence of success and cause for celebration and reason for creation or expansion of these and other programs which should keep them solidly in power....they are very proud of and will endlessly defend what they have created...it's like this....some look at it and think "this can't be good for our village"....others look at it and think "if we can create a bunch of these we can control the village FOREVER! bwwaaahaaahaaa"...Happy Halloween

BINGO.

Even if someone didn't know anything about American politics, if one looks at these poor urban areas, the only compassionate conclusion would be "these people deserve better. Whatever policies are in place, whichever political party those policies originate from, are clearly not working, we need to try something radically different".

PaulS, this is not abstract theory. We have real, irrefutable, empirical evidence that shows what happens when liberal economic policies are in place. It is a disaster. Here in CT, we have some of the highest incomes in the nation. And we currently have one of the worst economic situations. Why? Because of two generations of pure, unchecked liberalism.

How do you begin to try making that wrong?

Paul, when I look at a failing big city, I say "these people deserve much better than this. The policies in place are not working, we need to try something else."

When you see these same failing cities, you say it's "not compassionate" to think we need to try different things.

I ask you to make that wrong, and you launch a baseless insult. It's all you can do, because you can't refute what I'm saying, I'm holding all the cards. Liberalism in this country NEEDS a large underclass, dependent of the government for everything, to maintain a sufficient voting block. You claim that's compassion?

I'll ask again, how can you possibly drive by a large failing city, and not conclude that we need to do something drastically different for these people? What we have in place isn't working, and in most places, what we have in place is pure liberalism. I dare you to make that wrong.

Try to respond with something other than racisthatecrimeintolerantwaronwomenkeepyourrosarie soffmyovaries.
