Stupid Repuke says poor people should vote Republican, cites ex-Republican Mayor Bloomberg!
WHY THE POOR MUST VOTE REPUBLICAN
By David Grossack

The Democratic Party has long postured as a party that is the friend of the underclass, the underpaid, the unemployed and those supposedly disadvantaged by race or ethnicity. Their solutions to the problems of their less fortunate constituents has generally been based on extracting monies from the productive sector of society and transferring it to the less productive sectors of society.

What they have done is to 'institutionalize' poverty and dependency rather than make welfare and other programs of this nature very temporary measures to prevent dependency from becoming a multi-generational lifestyle that it seems to be in so many neighborhoods.

Worse, companies have begun to leave the United States and do their stock offerings and exchange listings in London, Luxembourg and other locations. This has an incredible impact on the American economy, affecting all of us. When services are off shored, and opportunities are off shored, we all lose. Simply put, Sarbanes Oxley inhibits companies from raising money here. That means less building, less research, less expansion, fewer jobs, fewer training programs and less chances for the poor to climb out of poverty.

New York Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been among those concerned. As a former head of a financial news service and as mayor of America's financial capitol, Bloomberg should know.

Yes, Bloomberg DOES know, Mister Grossack, you Repuke moron! That's why Bloomberg just QUIT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!



And this is the King of The Idiots of the Hull, Massachusetts Republican Party.

3. Yes, Hull is a very strange place. It will make a great place for SCUBA divers to visit the ruins...
of all the submerged houses and buildings there in a few years.

2. "less productive sectors of society"
"What they have done is to 'institutionalize' poverty and dependency rather than make welfare and other programs of this nature very temporary measures to prevent dependency from becoming a multi-generational lifestyle that it seems to be in so many neighborhoods."

what thinly veiled racism.

I also hate the equating money with productivity - in my experience, many of the lowest paying menial jobs are a lot more actual work than the top positions, and are just as vital to the functioning of society. As I used to tell the kitchen staff: every position is valuable and valued - you can no more run a kitchen without a dishwasher as without a chef.

5. It's the equivalent to saying the lazy underachievers.
Edited on Thu Jun-21-07 01:53 PM by Sapere aude
It makes it ok not to care about the poor because being poor is their own fault. If they were as productive as the wealthy they would not be poor so don't waste your money helping them because is only reinforces their poor productivity.

6. Grossacks's essay directly contradicts, in MANY ways, what he has told me in confidence.
That is all I feel comfortable saying about THAT.

I wonder if he will modify or remove the essay now that Bloomberg has jumped from the sinking Repuke ship?
