Census data revealed today that a record 46.2 million Americans were living in poverty in 2010. But in an aptly-timed hearing entitled “Is Poverty A Death Sentence,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) flat out rejected the idea that poverty in the U.S is worrisome. As the Ranking Member of the Senate Health subcommittee, Paul offered a dissertation-length statement on how the correlation between poverty and death is only found in the Third World and to claim such a connection within the U.S. is nothing more than “socialism” and “tyranny.”

6. Due to him and his party and..

their stupid ideas. Its not falling fast enough for him.

I guess he a the rest of these assholes think they will be living in comfort while the rest of us suffer.

United we stand divided we fall.

I guess they think while everyone is laying in the street or living in the woods everyone will go along to get along and forget who did it to them.

Keep believing that shit cons.

8. So Aqua Buddah,

the son of a physican and a member of congress whines about the "Poor" ? I'm just sure that he starved in his youth and never saw a doctor and worked his way through college. ;)

The nut never falls far from the tree.

11. He makes his father look like a fucking humanitarian.

Honestly... I doubt the asshole has ever done a hard days work in his life.

14. Given his background and who he associates with, why would his mindset be any different?

It is good to have this regular reminder of why a government of multimillionaires will always have a disconnect in relating to us commoners...

16. I think he's even worse..

he is very ignorant as most republiCONS are.

No honest human being with any real world experience at all would even think something that wacked out and mean, much less say it in public. :eyes:
