republican interpretation of poor people - are they lazy? ha

[dopediana]

you know what makes me mad? when people say that the poor are poor because they want to be poor. because they like welfare. because they like social security. because they're too busy complaining about being poor to get rich. after all, we're in the fucking USA, right? the land of opportunity, babe. everyone can be rich! rags to riches! horatio alger! andrew carnegie!

pfffffffffft! all the people who say that are republican and some democrats. they've also never fucking seen REAL POOR PEOPLE! i've been to europe. i've lived in south america. i've seen real poverty. and it's not due to laziness. it's due to colonialism. it's due to the caste system. it's due to skin color, culture, society, and education. and it's due to crappy government. another reason to go socialist. give everyone what they deserve as a human. adequate food, shelter, education, and care.
if any person comes forth on this site and says that the poor are lazy and deserve poverty, i demand them banned, please.

Class will always exist, at least I hope so, for the sake of mankind I hope so.

And personally, I could care less how the poor became poor.

dork:

but do you care how the rich people become rich?

you probably believe the lie that "hard work" alows for people to become million, and even billionares.

LIE

people are born into such a class. hows that for lazy. all you have to do is be born, like a prince or queen. thats the absolute laziest way to make money

hard work only allows for the lazy elite class to exist. imagine if everybody just decided to stop working. imagine. the ruling class would shrivel up and disappear.

I say EVERYBODY quit and go on welfare. that'll collapse the calss system REAl fast. call it the non-violent revolution. of course, the pigs will sick their pigdgs to physically try to force everybody to work again, BUT FUCK THEM! I WILL KILL THEM ALL IF IT COMES TO THAT!!!!

anyway, the only lazy people are the bourgeois class born with silver spoons in their mouths forcing other people to work "hard" so they don't starve or freeze to death. I say we watch as they dig their OWN graves with those silver spoons.

That wealth was earned somewhere. These new elite most likely recieved it from a family member, but so what? People have a right to dispose of their wealth however they choose. Now these new elite must sustain that wealth or lose it as the generations pass.

it is made somewhere. by you and me, every time we go to work. every time we buy gas, fod and toilet paper. every time we pay taxes. every time we turn on the tv, or flick a light switch.

again, these people are born into the "oil families", or whatever, and get to sit back and watch as we make their wealth FOR THEM.

you know, i'm not much for name-calling, but you're an arrogant, bull-headed, insensitive, greedy, self-righteous prick. and i hope you rot in hell. it all boils down to one fact which i'll try to put in simple terms for you. you are wrong and i am right.

out of curiosity, why don't you care about the underprivileged?

Hazard is absolutely correct. We make their money, they are born into families which possibly did work 30-40 years ago and now THEY live off the system. I pray to god that the inheritance tax act passes taking 50-75% of what your daddy makes and puts it back into the system. So that people dont just sit back and watch themselves get richer while making more and more workers alienated. I know people who have worked all their lives, lived modestly and now dont have a penny to show for it, SCREW your system. We dont want a part of it. Go and start fromthe botton, work for 5.15 an hour and see how long you can pay the bills, that is if there is ever even an opening for a black or hispanic individual.

DC, the wealthy did not work hard to become wealthy, their employees had to work hard. One wealthy man's wealth may have come from the profit of the fruit of thousands of laborers' labor. Laborers who in turn, do not become wealthy! Wage labor creates NO capital for the worker! It creates capital for the man who already has capital! This wealth is passed down from generation to generation as it grows from the daily, hard, and strenuous labor of the worker.

The emancipation of the worker, DC, will only happen once the bourgeoisie collapses. Today, the worker has no voice, despite what you may think. The bourgeoisie has complete influence over the goverment. Meaning that the goverment acts strictly in the intetrest of the bourgeoisie, a ridiculously small class of excessively powerful aristocrats. With this in minnd, what chance of change or opportunity to improve one's standard of living does the proletarian class have? What power over themselves do they have? What political power do they have?

The poor people don't regulate themsleves into being poor, it's just a common capitalist misconception.
It's the system that makes you poor, just like in old England king-queen socities, the kings regulated the peasants, capitalism regulates people, if you don't play the game just right you "lose" or are a "loser to society.

That's why i'm anarcho-communist or anarcho-syndicalist, it shouldn't be like that.
