We thought/I thought in 2006 things were pretty bad when upon hearing the complaint about the lack of jobs, one official, either Cheny or Rumsfeld made the brilliant comment that people were not working because they didn’t want to work. I don’t remember the exact quote, but that is the gist of it.
Republicans do not know who sent them to Washington, but they know it pays well to be there. Everything else is at best secondary. Yet there they are, choking the life out of the people who elect them. By hook or by crook, minority rules.
Hello Cagjr. I get really offended by the attitude poor people are poor because they don’t work hard enough or because they are lazy. Especially when it is said by those who have had everything handed to them all their life. Ivanka recently said that those who lost their job due to Covid should simply just get another job. Old 87 year old Chuck Grassley, a multi-millionaire, on why tax cuts should only be given to the wealthy claimed that poor people only waste their money on “women, booze, and movies”. This man lives off the government teat including taking huge government agricultural subsidies when he is not a farmer and doesn’t have a farm. But he does chair that committee in the Senate. Hugs
