And there it is folks: the screeching stereotype used to justify a war on the poor.

You know what's funny? Is that you go on about flatscreens and daytime TV and Mountain Dew when in reality, the biggest f***ing welfare whores in this country--the ones that suck us dry and leave us scraps to run our country on--are being chauffeured around in town cars, spending weekends at their Hampton estates, flying first class and wearing $5,000 wristwatches.

But we don't pay attention to that because you've misdirected us by convincing us that the country's in a pickle because of impoverished black people who allegedly are lazy and won't work because you're personally carrying them on your back.

What an absolute load. Straight out of the Hannity/Limbaugh plutocratic playbook.

12,000 a year is higher than the GDP/capita of approx 2/3 of the countries in the world. The American poor are lucky compared to the rest of the world. That dosen't mean there isn't a huge wealth inequality in the U.S. that is incredibly detrimental to our society.
