Well I am sure you got the parody. On the race thing, I can see how you think I am pointing fingers at you ,but not really. I know you have never, ever done that.
My post was really about seeing things form a different light. Yes, the occupation of many low income immigrants has something to do with how I did that. You know by now that I wish the best for all. Obviously there are many points where what is good for one excludes benefit to the other and visa versa. Sometimes I see social programs as our great country way of making some of us resemble the noble characters in a Dickens novel instead of the villains, when otherwise we would probably just float around somewhere in between.
I think when push comes to shove the size of assistance being spoken of here is not the norm. I for one am O.K. with helping the working poor. That is the only place my charity goes, besides trying to be a good neighbor, I can tell you that. The able bodied non-working poor on the dole is a little harder to swallow.
All of us to some degree have a component of welfare to our “earnings and benefits” gained by virtue of our military supremacy and politics that land in our favor. Every single class element of our society, generally speaking weighs in heavily with a sense of entitlement, which is generally speaking rewarded some where along the line , so when I see kiss up kick down behavior I intervene.
