Why shouldn't the working poor get help? They pay taxes and who benefits? Corporations get bailouts, foreign countries get foreign aid, and war-ravaged countries get billions that come back to buy more war materials from the military industrial complex which in turn helps stockholders. Many who are politicians. But helping the ordinary citizen is out of the question. When is the right going to realize that both the right and the left have a common enemy .GREED of the few is keeping citizens divided so they can continue to get richer while we fight among ourselves.
