clarity on a few points:
Name calling: not the working people...I meant to refer to blaming it on Bush...my bad....I was saying that as a reference that he is not the one who has the problem....he inherited it....hehe.
Show you some starving poor: I tell you what...come to Baltimore...drive 2 miles east or west of the Inner Harbor...Get out of your car....take a walk....note the quality and types of stores in the area as opposed to where you live. Note the subpar quality of eating establishments...note the number of abandoned houses and the possibilty that someone is living in one now...do this for a few hrs and then go home....get on your knees and thank whoever it is you pray to that you don't live like that...
Kevin I was raised in that area and can tell you 20 years it was NOT like that...I moved away 10 years ago and when I came back....this was what I saw...it's a drastic 180 away from the growth that was going on in the 80s and 90s....gentrification my friend.
...and if 46% own then the other portion rent and another portion of THAT are homeless....pie charts mean nothing when you are standing on a corner wishing you had even pie crumbs.
You wanna see starving people....come on down to downtown Washington DC....17th and I streets...RIGHT BEHIND Gee Dub's house...let's you and I take a walk thru the park where I go to lunch sometimes and I will let you stand and count how many homeless and starving people are crowding the benches....heck...I don't have pocket change anymore cuz I am giving it to an old dude in hopes that he gets some food....
After work...let's take a walk from here to Chinatown and let's count again how many homeless poor are sitting out here trying to get a meal not 5 blocks away from the tourists visiting the mall....
All this first and and trust me afterwards you will wake up thankful ddaily that you have what you have.
Most of these people who have a roof over thier heads are the same ones that have no power in ther homes and either die or burnt out because since they cant afford the rising price of energy had to resort to other means to keeping warm.
and the damned if you do damned if you don't
it's not my attitude...that is just the way things are.....
that is just the big problem with the policy....there is no right way in solving it and removing it without upsetting a whole population of people
