Despicable, lowly poor people. PLEASE, hate them so you won't mind that we cut their aid to make up for all our tax breaks, loopholes and OUR entitlements. Maybe if we distract you, you won't notice us picking you pocket. This is the agenda the wealthy and right wing are pushing so rigorously through the GOP at ALL levels of government. All the hatred spewed against anyone who receives assistance, other than the wealthy themselves. There has been a systematic effort to DEMONETIZE to poor, which includes low income people who need assistance to survive.
