Why are the poor, poor?
Jeff Wrangler:
These points about "family values" also remind me of yet another lesson from my old college poli sci class: People will also vote for someone whom they perceive to be more like themselves.
And perceive is important: How many Americans come from oil-rich families with long histories of government service and own ranches in Texas and once owned their very own baseball team? Not many. But talk real folksy-like and mispronounce common words--despite having an Ivy League education--and a lot of people will perceive you to be more like themselves than someone caught on film windsurfing off Cape Cod. ... ::)
What has depressed me (probably permanently) is how many people are taken in by this bullshit. I had thought Americans were smarter than that. Apparently you can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time. :-\ :(
I guess this makes me an elitist, too. ;D
Artiste:
Are we talking why are the poor, poor ?
Seriously ?
When I saw a foreigner passing himself as a good person while he burned persons houses and collected insurance, and then opened up crack houses, I saw the poor become more poor, because that drug lord was seen as so nice, but if you don't take his drugs and pay more and more, then I saw persons even during the day being hit in their front or back yards by his gang of thugs !!
So, that is one way that the poor as well as the rich trapped by drugs, become poor and more poor !!
Did you know ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
