I can't express how I feel about this kind of bigotry without violating my own principles.

3. So, where's the outrage? |
|
If it had been a racist or sexist comment, this thread would have 30+ replies by now.
But make the form of detestable bigotry classism and watch it drop like a rock.
Or, worse yet, maybe some people secretly agree with the sentiment. Out with you if you do! Have the courage of your convictions.
And I love how "classism" is marked by my spell-checker as a non-existent word... <sigh> Where does it end? Oh well, better click "add to dictionary."

5. Because they eat cheap food full of corn syrup made with subsidized corn |
|
If the govt would subsidize something that was healthier, then that healthier item would be in the food.

6. True, that is a major cause of obesity. |
|
But your post appears to accept Gramm's premise that all of the poor are fat - when in reality obesity is a problem for all social classes except the rich (who can afford the best foods and personal trainers).

7. An old saying about Phil Gramm |
|
"He's a man so mean even his friends don't like him."
That's all you need to know about him.
