Is this a sick joke or what?


The right wing while complaining about class warfare against the sometimes underprivileged hedge fund managers is engaging in some class warfare of their own. First, they feel like poor people will lift themselves out of poverty if they are less nourished and thus they are fighting food stamps on all fronts. Secondly, the house just had its 40th+ vote to defund Obamacare which would leave some 30 million Americans uncovered. But the “sick” joke here is that less than 50% of the American workers receive a single paid sick day. So with less food, no medical attention when ill, and lost wages when they attempt to recover…how can those below the poverty line or the working  poor not succeed? The way to succeed is to heed the words of B list actor and A list tea party spokesman Craig  T. Nelson who said on camera concerning his own unaided rise from poverty to success “when I was on welfare and food stamps who helped me”?
