I know, it will be the rich flushing the poor down the toilet, now that you shot the sheriff!

The poor have done nothing but swirl around in a toilet full of shit since 1965. If you had any sense you'd know that.

We spent 22 Trillion on the "War on Poverty" and today, the ONLY progress made by the poor is because of capitalism developing continuously better, cheaper products and stores like Walmart that can give large numbers of unskilled people jobs while providing them with cheap goods they can afford.

Essential items like Air Conditioning, Television, Cell phones, and yes, cars, are affordable to almost everyone. Cable and Satellite TV. Microwave ovens for $50.

The ONE THING that remains out of reach for the poor is the one that government most sunk its teeth into in 1965 -- health care.

Now, you have a history of dodging difficult questions, like most liberals. But this is a point that is blatantly apparent to any but the most stupid and it deserves a cogent, thoughtful response from people who are promoting alternatives to capitalism.
