You weren't discussing anything, just ranting about Texas. Providing the link to the program is not just "mentioning" a program.

Nice try.

But the FACT that we all have agreed on is that the poor aren't coming to eat. That means one of two things:

1) They can't get to the locations

--or--​

2) They won't go to the locations

How dare those lazy poor people refuse to go eat!!

We all? Sounds delusional to me.

So the poor ARE coming to those programs in the summer?

The link you provided shows attendance dropping dramatically, with no explanation for that fact coming from you

There's no point in asking the rightwingers to clarify their point when all they can do is mindlessly repeat their slogans. The rightwingers need no assistance when it comes to making themselves look stupid. Their whining about spending, after spending 8 years under bush* spending like drunken sailors has made their foolish hypocrisy evident to all but the deluded hyper-partisans

Big difference that you overlook here is that drunken sailors spend their OWN money...

Tax breaks for the wealthy is the opiate of the masses. It's why the rich love their welfare

Your attempt to parrot my comments doesn't even make sense. Claiming that the Wealthy are the masses is beyond stupid

Yeah 1% is sucking up 22% of the income in this nation leaving only 78% of the income for 99% of the nation.

Wildly dis proportionate!

I see that you're getting a glimmer of my point.

winners win. Its like tennis-Nadal and federer, less than one percent of all the pro male players have won more majors in the last 5 years than the rest of the world combined.

You seem to be upset that this happens. I am not.

What point? what is gained by your posting stuff that is patently wrong?

Thieves also win when their crimes are decriminalized by the politicians they've bought.

I prefer the Socratic method. Keep working on it. You might get there someday.

And nothing is gained by posting stuff that is patently wrong. That is why I keep refuting your arguments.

You constantly post blatant lies and pretend no one else sees them.

It is not a tennis match

You seem to be upset that this happens. I am not

Why should I be upset about pointing out your intellectual short comings?

 

[TurtleDude]

the poor don't do much to make others rich. If you were rich you'd know that

You've made it very clear how you feel about the poor, we get it!

Its funny watching people bash the class they want to join

blaming the rich for being a failure is a constant theme in this country and a partial explanation for why some people fail

 

[sangha]

blaming the middle clas for being a failure is a constant theme from the rich and part of their plan to redistribute the middle class' wealth

 

[TurtleDude]

Why do you assume that anyone is not wealthy?

True, there are trust fund idiots-often kids-who bash the rich because they think it makes them "cool" to do so. But there are many on this board who have whined about being undervalued by the market. In College the biggest marxist whiners were trust fund kids

One of the most vocal was a guy who walked around half shaven in a beret. He was originally from Iran. Turns out his family had a chalet in the swiss alps, he had gone to the most expensive boarding school in Europe and his uncle was the head of SAVAK-the Shah's secret police. Yet he whined about how unfair capitalism was and how America was too mean to the poor

your silly rants about redistribution to the rich get old. You seem to think those who "win" in the market are the recipients of redistribution. You clearly do not understand the term
