We Need Poor People

I was talking to a guy at work today, some how we got on the subject about how he thinks that the government has a plan and a system to keep poor people poor and the rich people rich. That was one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Fact is, this counrty needs people of low income. Who is going to clean the rich people's homes? Who is going to work at a car wash making minimum wage, or work at a fast food restraunt and pass out fries and burgers? Someone has to do it. Just like someone has to be a brain surgeon. We need people to work on brains, just like we need people to work on transmisions. That brain surgeon will hire a maid working for eight buck an hour, a lawn man, go to a car wash, and go on vacations where he will spend more money in hotels and the maid who cleans his room will make minimum wage.

My point is, people are poor because they choose to be. When a person does poorly in school because they are skipping class or on drugs and having kids at 17 18 and 19 they screw thier entier life up. Thus, having kids they dont go to collage and get formal education . I m not saying everyone should go to college. Are we going to have a person with a masters degree washing cars for a living? Unlikely. Those who dont go to college can just as easily get a good paying job by working hard and learning a skill. Welding dose not requre collage but you can make really good money doing it. But it is a skill you have to practice at it and put a lot of effort into it. Along with many other skilled trades. Effort is something alot of poor by choice people don't have.

Being poor is a choice, not a plight. People's lives play out by the choices they make. If you dont have a job at all, that's a choice. If you have a low paying job, that's a choice. No one forces anyone to work a certain job. When your hired, you know what the wage will be. So why take it if it doesnt pay enough. It is so easy to get one the job training these days. You just have to try, and actually stay long enough to get a decent wage.

I know there are certain people who are poor because of a tragedy or unexpected problem in life. But they are minorty among the poor. But most people are poor because they choose not to better themselves and thier situation. They dont do anything to not be poor. They collect unemployment, get "food stamps," and just essentially sponge as much as they can from the government. All the while they are blaming the same government who is giving them assistance for thier being poor in the first place.

Why is Bush taking blame?

I know the President could have moved the federal troops in a day sooner; but why didn't the mayor of New Orleans get those school buses into action to help the poor get out of the city? He must want poor black people dead just like the President. I am being sarcastic.

To call President Bush a racist that wants poor black people dead is just the most ridiculous thing in the world. If that is the case, then Ray Nagin wants poor blacks dead and the Governor of Louisiana wants poor blacks dead,( BOTH DEMOCRATS) because neither one of them had any preemptive actions under way before the hurricane made land fall. So why aren't the Democrats pounding on the Louisiana Duo. All I hear is BUSH, BUSH, BUSH. The media and the liberal left are placing no blame on state and local officials, they are placing it all on the President. The President took some responsibility, now Ray Nagin and Gov. Blanco should also.

Dems going nuts

I need some help. Why do the democrats only cry, cry, cry? I never hear any definitive plan to cure all the problems they say is wrong with this country. All of the stuff that comes out of there mouth is doom and gloom; the economy sucks, we're loosing the war on terror, so on and so forth. Nothing positive comes from the left. To the dems, Iraq is another Vietnam. They're right, it is, because of them. The left and the left wing liberal freaks who support them are the ones who say we are loosing instead of being positive and supporting our troops. They are calling our troops baby killers, and that our cause is not worth the effort. That my friends, helps to motivate the Islamic extremist in that country and around the world, including in our own country. All the attention that the liberal media gives people such as Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy and all the other high profile liberals who say this country sucks, just reinforces the hatred the extremists have for us. The extremists broadcast what the liberals say on their TV stations and say "Look, even people in their own country say the same thing we do." In my opinion that is aiding and abeding the enemy. So thanks for helping the terrorist Cindy, Mike, Ted and all your freinds.

Hurricane victims

When it comes to hurricane Katrina, I hear people blaming President Bush for not going on the offense when it came to this hurricane. It is not Bush's fault, it is the state of Louisiana who should be blamed. Here in Florida after Hurricane Andrew, there was help the day after the storm hit because Florida's government is on the up and up when it comes to hurricanes. There are many things that went wrong in New Orleans; including not having a worst case scenario plan in place. The Governor should have asked for the President to mobilize troops days before the storm made land fall. Don't blame the President for what happened. The state and local officials in Louisiana did not train their first responders for such a strong storm. It is the miss-management and lack of preparedness in the state government that got them into this trouble. I think they should just leave the city as part of Lake Ponchatrain and never go back.
