Rich people must be compensated more and more to give them incentives to work hard, poor people must be made to suffer to work hard.

(15,909 posts)Fairness is wasted on Laura Ingraham and her ilk. I didn't hear her say this "not literal hunger" disclaimer, but I doubt she didn't want the double meaning and a dog whistle to the monsters she courts who really do want people to go hungry.

(11,001 posts)She doesn't mean ambition. She literally means she doesn't want to pay people unemployment benefits and she wants her audience to be mad about paying them. Mad, at Democrats. That's the entire objective of this segment. It's more of the same kind of Republican spew that falls from her mouth every night for one straight hour and falls from this network 24/7.

Teachers, always find out which students are hungry!
Employers, understand that hunger is not a good state for your employees!
