People Starving In The Streets . . .

. . . and all that money on Grandma's campaign ads (which I see all the time) is going to waste.

Vote KINKY!

That could be said about a whole lot of things. Why just blast her for her campaign? Other than her statement that schools are under-funded, I think she would be a lot better than Perry.

Those damned starving homeless people are everywhere. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Would all of the millions that Hitlary has stored up for her presidential campaign help eliminate all the billions of starving people in the streets?

Get Kinky!!

When talking about waste, what about the lady from Plano who paid $20 million to go on the Russian space flight to the space station. That would have bought a few loaves of bread.

Texans need to get KINKY!

Eminem, Why should her wealth be taken to feed a bunch of worthless idiots that depend on others? Are you one of those liberals that believe in the redistribution of wealth?

m & m , Instead of that 27 inch color TV you bought, why didn't you purchase a 13 inch black and white one and give the difference to the salvation army to help feed the hundreds of thousands of starving homeless people in Wise County. I guess according to you, it's just the people that are wealthy that need to sacrifice so that there is no poverty or hunger.

Talk about waste! How about George Soros spending around 25 million to defeat Bush in 2004?

I am not saying any of those things are right or wrong and no I'm not one of those liberals who believes in taking from the rich to give to the poor.

You have misunderstood my point and my point was: Why was Barry picking on Strayhorn and saying her campaign money being spent was a big waste while people were starving on the streets.? I don't understand why he singled her out while there are a lot of other things people do that could also be considered wasteful. I was just giving an example of one of those things that could be considered wasteful.

m&m, that woman also happens to be of the family that sponsors the Ansari X Prize. You know, the one Burt Rutan won? I'm all for inexpensive spaceflight. NASA is dead.

Boy did this blog take a sharp left turn.

It's always leaned left. Barry's left turn signal is always on.

Just a newsflash for all the dumbos out there. The majority of people in poverty do have jobs and work everyday. It is not that they are lazy or that it is an internal problem. It is an external problem, due to low wages and corporate-dominated capitalism.

I pray that people will get educated about poverty.

I pray that people will get educated so that they can get a good job and not live in poverty and quit blaming their strife on capitalism. Liberals need to get another playbook from which to spout their socialism.

Nobody is spouting socialism dork. There ARE other forms of capitalism, but you probably don't know that. What a simple minded fool you are.

mzchief said...

How many of those people living in "poverty" only work 40 hours a week?
MOST of the financially and professionally successful people with whom I am associated work at LEAST 50 hours a week. The successful people I know who do not work 50+ hours a week either inherited their wealth or are retired.

Mzchief...you are so far out of touch to anyone else's reality other than your own...so I won't waste my time with you.

As far as health coverage in America.. Doesn't every human being have a right to medical care for just being human? Canada, England, France....they all have univeral health coverage. As a matter of fact, we are the only industrialized nation that does not provide our citizens equal access to medical care.

Gee, what would Jesus think? I guess everything He said about helping the poor was just bologna.

I will waste my time with YOU!
I grew up in the United Kingdom and France. How does 60% income tax set with you? That is the current income tax rate in England. It costs a trainload of taxpayer funds to pay for nationally provided services.

Just for the record, my monthly health insurance premium is over $1,300. nevertheless, it accounts for a FAR cry less than 60% of my income. If it makes you feel better I GLADLY pay 36% income tax in the United States. People who work hard are fortunate enough to pay 3 or 4 times MORE in taxes than the medium income in the United States.

Have you ever wondered WHY all the elderly people in countries with "SOCIALIZED MEDICINE" are in good health? It has NOTHING to do with the quality of the healthcare provided to them. It has everything to do with the healthcare that was NOT provided to the less healthy people. The sick people DIE prior to receiving the specialized care required for sick people to live to an old age. Wealthy people in countries with Socialized Medicine go outside the country or pay for PRIVATE care out of their pocket for EXCELLENT healthcare.

Oh and since you are SOOOOO bloody impressed with the systems in place in foreign nations might I suggest you pack up your belongings and MOVE. Leave the land of opportunity to those of us who are inclined to take advantage of the FABULOUS opportunities afforded to those of us willing to work our arses off in the United States.

When you move you will NEED to get used to NOT having an auto or using one since the annual taxes on autos in some areas within the U.K can be more than $6,000. in addition, fuel costs more than $7. a gallon due to the INSANE amount of taxes levied on ALL types of fuel.

This wee bit of deductive reasoning may be too much for your brain cell to handle but I will let you take a whack at it; IF the U.K. is such a FABULOUS place WHY are there people waiting YEARS to LEGALLY immigrate TO the United States from the United Kingdom? I am certain YOU are having trouble with THAT answer so I will give it to you! YOU ARE WRONG! The correct answer is; people wait YEARS to LEGALLY enter The United States because it is the BEST thing going!

If you cannot make it in the United States you might as well find a tall building and take a jump because you will NOT be able to make it ANYWHERE!

Negative, whiney, ungrateful Americans DISGUST me! Thank heavens I surround myself with positive, SUCCESSFUL people!

To The mzchief Haters...
No doubt hating me is the MOST positive action YOU take in YOUR life!

Keep up the good work!

Well said Mz. Taxation is the answer to all liberals problems. Personal responsibility is not in their vocabulary. Thanks for putting that weenie in his place.

Anon 7:46 pm I can't believe you used the word 'right' of every human to have health care just for being human. You just might want to brush up on the Bill of Rights etc. It is not a right.

Well done mzchief.

Anon 7:46, I have the right to free transportation, free food, free electricity, free housing, and free everything just because I'm human. But I get up everyday and go earn it because poor pitiful me ain't gettin it for free. Now get off your ass and go to your job at Kwik Lube and when you get a paycheck, pay your Mom and Dad for the rent that you have been sponging off of them for free since you almost graduated junior high. Wake up dipstick. It's not the governments job to take care of you from cradle to grave. Has a poor man ever given you a job? Keep off of this blog until you understand how the real world works.
