What is more important than social programs for poor people?

1. whoa - hold on just one second!

defense contractors throw better parties, serve stronger drinks and better food than your average poor person.

and when was the last time a welfare recipient ever wrote a nice fat campaign contribution check, huh?

or got a nephew or son a high paying job/seat on a board/country club membership?

i've eaten what poor people eat - there's no way we can expect our elected representatives to side with them.
