41. Of course they will need SOME poor people to do the work in
the hospitals, nursing homes and restaurants and such as well as to clean their palatial estates.

What will happen is that the poor will be relegated to far flung areas and will spend a considerable amount of time just getting to and from work. Remember that woman in Fahrenheit 9/11 whose son killed a fellow first grade student in Flint, MI? Due to welfare reform (thank you Bill Clinton and the Democrats) she commuted by bus to a wealthy mall to work for a restaurant chain owned by Dick Clark. Her commute was so lengthy and her pay so paltry her son was left with an uncle. This will be and is being repeated across the country, especially as the five year lifetime limit on welfare comes upon many people.
