Just More of What You'll Never Read.

As stated today in the St. Petersburg Times, page 8A, a single person poverty guideline $42,000 and a family of 4, $88.000. Ok with Chapter 7 at $75,000 just why families making half of that can't and those making even less then that, qualify for help? Yes and our President says he is for taxing those making a million or more a year instead of those making $280,000 because he wants to "make sure it is not being shouldered by families already having a tough time." The poor bastards are struggling, really, hello, does that not speak to who this man and they are and what they do and why?

So, rhetorically of course, let me ask that again, just why families making half of that can't and even less qualify for help?

Ok, example, which is meaningless to this bunch because it is truth, but here it goes anyway, a family of 4 taking care of two elderly and sick moms are "over the guidelines" for any help. This family makes too much. Now this is GROSS, ok once again GROSS income, Hello! What is left after everything else, mortgage, car, utilities, food, etc, the basics? The question is, how can this be, and really and yes I'm hot as to how illegal citizens can get help of all sorts, housing, stamps, schooling and these people can't get zip, nada, spit, nothing, why? Yes why, should that be. Well we have the darkness state like Florida who could care less about average working people. This is a state for those who have to enjoy. My opinion by experience, these politicans all have it, dress good and move in the right circles. The worker bee's well necessary evils they must tolerate. The sad part is out mom and pops and "college" educated vote for them over and over again. Sad, so sad a reality.

They answer of course is you don't dare mention it, because "they're only doing a job" and "thats the way the system is." Sour grapes well sure I'll admit to that, yet I have never taken a position against anyone getting help within the framework of good, honest, ethical law, so where the hell is that? Yes and I always undestood this is not something owed. Now we all know the answer but can't speak to it. This my friend is blatant discrimination and if, yes, and that if is significant if you are who you claim to be you must also sense this is wrong, unjust, basically sin. If not, case closed.
Race should have no part in help nor should religion. It should be based on first Americans, then foreigners and then anyone else who needs it. No there isn't a person with a PAIR out there that will answer this openly, honestly, fairly. There are a hell of a lot who will throw slander, labels, names at it, but then we all know their intelligence level. So this is a grievance, a complaint, venting, whatever you call it and in my opinion it has merit. Righteous indignation for sure. It has nothing to do with anyone but the facts, the truth, reality. Yes,"who said life is fair,"copout. So answer the question, Just why families making half of that and less can't qualify for help?
The answer to that for the great majority of average Americans of all races is average.
