Need some help...
I need a rebuttal to the following RW talking point BS:

"The VAST majority of poor people are poor for a reason...lack of motivation and work ethic. Laziness breeds poor people..."

1. The vast majority of poor people are hard working Americans.
Edited on Fri Aug-25-06 07:21 PM by Kickoutthejams23
The top ten percent net worth has a lower employment rate than the bottom 10 percent

Why do you hate people that work.

Poor people in America are actively raising children.

Again the top ten percent net worth has a lower incidence of children in the household than the bottom 10 percent

Why do you hate children

So working people with children is what is wrong with America? And they are lazy?

(This is all a demographic cheat mind you. Most rich people in America share one common characteristic. They're old. Poor people tend to be young.)

Repugs usually aren't bright enough or well read enough to realize this. So feel free to use it to club them. :evilgrin:
