Each jackel got meaner....then one said they should not be able to vote....these Rs are pigs.....and they have had absolute power in my state for 7plus years now.

2. I lost a good friend in your state due to his support for Scott Walker.

Bob LaFollette must be spinning in his grave.

3. So basically a prison sentence

They don't get to enjoy anything at all as punishment for being poor.

5. This has been their drum beat since

Reagan. And many of these so called talking heads really push the envelope. GOP lost their compassion the day Richard Nixon was sworn in. From then on,down hill.

6. ugh i feel for you. turn off that radio. my tea party sis...

...was asking me if I had a radio for her that got AM.. 'AM?' I said. 'Why the hell do you want to listen to AM?' 'For the TALK shows!' she said excitedly. 'Do those still exist?' I said smugly.

8. And that's how gangs form. You'd think they'd understand underground economies.

Make things unavailable and whole societies spring up to make them available. Then the power struggles within them begin.

9. it's funny, I was thinking if I called in...

I would say there would BE no lottery if poors stopped buying tickets....

[eShirl]

11. or reason, or read

or articulate complex ideas

12. Calling them pigs is an insult to pigs!

[CakeGrrl]

13. And when "welfare" is heard, "black" or "brown" is visualized

Their venom isn't aimed at white welfare recipients, who are just 'down on their luck'. Limbaugh has programmed them for years.

14. They also don't seem to think the poor should save money...

because if they are saving money then they are clearly not poor and do not need assistance. Yet when asked how they are supposed to get through job losses, health issues, or car issues, or anything else then they resort to the "they need to learn to save and prepare" This also applies for saving up to go to school, buy a more reliable vehicle, to relocate, retirement, or anything else.

Let's not forget that if poor people didn't have phones then they would be able to afford their healthcare....


Conservatives in general don't seem to be very logical or capable of seeing the bigger picture.

16. Funny thing

I saw my neighbor in 7-11 last year when I was buying milk (I was behind him in line).

He bought $50 worth of lottery tickets. Said neighbor also had a Trump sign in his yard.
