1. Actually, neither party represents the poor as a priorty.
Both parties represent Business Interests first, and
at least, the Democrats will give the poor any left over

7. no, the Democrats give it to the middle class, not the poor.
The poor and working class aren't mentioned, ever, by Democratic politicians.

2. I appreciate this discussion as presented by David.
Posing a slant that no one talks about is refreshing.

3. Good discussion.... However, Paul Ryan and his 700 dollar
bottle of entitlements wants everyone to think that those folks are a deficit problem....

6. Well, of course both parties don't care. The poor don't make big campaign contributions. n/t
