It pisses me off when the wingnuts bash government, and then when disaster strikes...

...they are usually the first to whine and moan about government not helping them fast enough, or blame the government as being incompetent because some idiots died because they ignored mandatory evacuation requests!

And they really think they are rich enough that they'd be able to buy the privatized services they claim would be better. Which could also not be organized very well and would take a lot longer.

is actually code for: "stop giving MY tax money to lazy, worthless brown and black people
who don't have a job".

when disaster hits and severely impacts WHITE people-- then of course the federal government
must be there in a very big way to make things right.. and do so immediately.

again folks, it's all in Howard Zinn's book... from the very beginning, the wealthy white people
running our nation felt only THEY were entitled to government largesse/protection. obviously women
and minorities in general had zero rights.

whenthat when I saw that women screaming at Schumer. Staten island is largely republican, they just voting in a tea party guy. She was probably screaming about big gov before this. Now she's screaming that the government is not helping her. Typical.
