Politicians love the poor — they have made so many of them.

    Richman,

    So you’re buying this? Are you so desperate to find things with which to blame politicians that you resort to this? This is clearly garbage. If you buy your own groceries you know that you can’t survive on two dollars a day. You’d literally starve. If this were true, these 1.46 million people would have simply disappeared.

    How hard is it to find reasons to hate politicians? Why are you reaching?
