10. I honestly have no idea if she's truly in such "dire straights"

And I have no intention of mailing her my life savings. It does seem a tad crass though to so derisively dismiss the article when you don't know any better than I do whether she is being honest.

I will say however that it does not read like a "highly educated huffpost writer" trying to sound less so. It reads more like what you'd expect from a less educated and poverty bound person.

Your posts, on the other hand, read like the writings of someone who is cynical, unsympathetic, and whose hands tend to tighten until their knuckles turn white whenever they think someone is after their "hard-earned money". Some folks sound a lot like this whenever they discuss the issue of taxes, for example.

How do you feel about food stamps Omar? Disability benefits? The free lunch program at schools? Does your cynicism extend that far?
