Do the billionaires and Congress really care about the poor?
Ever notice that those who claim to be concerned with the "poor" and against capitalism almost always have access to private jets? George Soros, Hillary Clinton, former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and those before him, and of course our filmmaker Michael Moore.Michael Moore recently said that people who have guns are afraid of the ‘poor’ and 'colored.' Yet, when he was a guest on Larry King, Larry asked him whether or not he gets death threats. The answer was 'yes' but he had guards outside of his home. I wonder if he is scared of the 'poor' or 'colored.' Perhaps the filmmaker forgot that the recent home invasion in Connecticut, responsible for the murders of a doctor's family, was committed by two white men.Michael Moore has made multimillions playing the 'poor' card. He has compared our healthcare system to Cuba's. What he didn't say is that we are a nation of over 315 million people; Cuba has about 7 million. Depending on the intelligence of his audiences, he can do very well playing 'divide and conquer.' Look at what it's done for Rev. AI Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Look at what it's done for Bill Clinton who came from a Governor of Arkansas job at $38,000 a year to a Clinton Foundation with close to $200 million. You don't get that kind of money catering to the poor. The fact that he and George W. are in Haiti makes me gag. What are they doing to relieve the suffering of the Haitians? Both are despicable with their many photo ops! What happened to the money? Why are Haitians living in tents? George W. sent in our navy seals (2004) to take Aristide out. And we've been sending troops to quell protests in Haiti since 1915. Corporate welfare comes first;Haitians be damned. How do we allow billionaires to get away with atrocities while they live on class warfare between the haves and have-nots? Trouble is the have-nots pick on poor slobs making $200,000 a year working their butts off and paying for school loans, kids, taxes. The ultra rich don't live near the rest of us, and they have 'house guards' !
