re: #217 Cato the Elder

I was poor once.

A religious man gave me a fish.

A Republican taught me how to fish.

A Democrat gave me a used fishing rod.

I dug up some worms and went down to the river.

A big sign said “Property of Dow Chemical; no fishing”.

I helped myself to some fish anyway, because I was tired and hungry.

Now I get three meals a day in a six-by-four-foot cell.

That’s how we help the poor in America.

Let’s be honest: Politically, NO ONE gives a damn about the poor. The left uses them as a reliable voting base and bloody shirt to wave at election time; the right uses them as the howling mob to be kept at bay by the forces of law and order, a warning and object-lesson in the consequences of sloth and vice. NO ONE gives a damn about it, and it’s a disgrace.
