I forgot to include an important piece of this puzzle. Person B's
spouse
works almost as many hours, so the kids are in day care a lot. Unless
you
want your kids in a **** hole of a day care center, do you have any
idea
what it costs?

You mean to tell me that person B, (legal or illegal), has no education,
is
working 90 hours/week, making $5.55 hr, is producing babies on top of
it?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for stupidity?

Did person B work Monday, or was he out marching to get more illegals
into
the country?

Ah....the recorded response.

There are many people in this country who just have no understanding of or
compassion for the plight of the working poor, and don't want any. It's
always been that way and it always will be. I used to have compassion for
the stupidity of these arrogant, unfeeling nincompoops, but no more.

You know any people like that, Doug? I've known a few, but none are among
my friends or people with whom I would socialize, even informally.





I think John cannot imagine a situation where people might have kids when
they were doing OK financially, but ended up in a lousy position afterward
for any of a number of embarrassingly obvious reasons.



It goes far beyond that for many resentful people in this country who
have no compassion for the plight of the working poor. My grandparents
came to this country with nothing except the clothes on their backs,
they worked many long hours at crummy jobs for crappy pay, and they had
children. In John's mind and in the mind of those who think like John,
my grandparents were stupid and he doesn't feel sorry for the suffering
they and millions of other poor immigrants endured and continue to endure.




Are you suggesting that your grandparents, just like mine, immigrated
legally, worked their tails off, made something of themselves, raised
families, and did it *without* a monthly check from the government?

Then you, like me, have every reason to be proud of them!
