Ask yourself about your arbitrary line you use to define poverty. Then go back. Less than 100 years ago... no running water, no plumbing, my grandfather was janitor of his school 5 miles away at the age of 15, my grandmother used to buy 5 cent of tea for her mother ... for the week. It was all they could afford. She remembers the oranges at Christmas the most... 1 a year, thats right oranges were to expensive for daily consumption.<br /><br />But today, you are below the poverty line if you only have 1 car for the family. Hell, I have a business worth more than a quarter million, yet I am barely over the poverty line.<br /><br />Real poverty does exist. But YOUR definition, rockfish, is the reason that people who actually need the help can't get it.<br /><br />I understand if you would rather call me names and use the money to buy votes in the middleclass than having the debate or even actually helping people tho.<br /><br /><br />Politics is fun isn't it Jeff... I am having trouble keeping up with which party actually wants an election, which ones are voting for or against one. Seems to change daily. :)Barcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797062032956713967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-14370889298407593922009-10-03T03:25:10.981-04:002009-10-03T03:25:10.981-04:00Perhaps Barcs prefers the hidden book that only ge...Perhaps Barcs prefers the hidden book that only gets shown (with pages redacted) late in an election campaign, or is he/she supporting the team that trots out 1960s socialist utopian blather, with a healthy dose of chicken little?<br />I guess he/she must have been over the moon during the last election, since the Liberals were the main party to propose something at all, actually a couple of things (I know poverty's a dirty word with the Harper trolls, it only exists for those who darn-well-deserve-it!) that got lost in all the lies and misdirections of the so-called leader Harper.rockfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835472375196889875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1822453711690563562009-10-02T18:58:24.409-04:002009-10-02T18:58:24.409-04:00"A real debate on important issues?

I'm sure they have a nice tidy package of reforms just waiting for the right time . . . like during the next election.<br /><br />Why accomplish anything unless it can be neatly folded into a campaign theme? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
