This is a thread following the debate that started after a few posts in the "Campaign Expenses" thread. It is basically about what you think the conditions are like for the poorer people in the U.S: what kind of social aide do they get...

I would bet that the rich are much more concerned about the poor, than vice versa.

What kind of concern do you want the poor to have for the rich. The rich have Health Insurance, lots of money...Whereas the poor are in a very difficult position so it is normal that concern be given to them.

Our country is successful because it allows those who truly want to succeed to succeed.

Well if we followed your philosophy, not many people would be poor. I don't think you realize how hard it is for a poor child to succeed in life. The chances that a poor child has of becoming rich are so very small, as even if he has all the willingness to succeed in the world, he will most likely suffer from racism, poor education because public schools don't have equal quality for rich and for poor people and many other social obstacles.

[The poor] consist of people who choose a poor lifestyle--namely drugs and booze and slacking off.

I just wish you and anybody else didn't believe in these stereotypes. You should ask yourself the question of why there is more crime in poor communities. It is not because they choose it. Who on Earth would choose a "poor lifestyle"?
