The Poor

Much talk these days about the class war.  The middle class what is left of it is busy trying to remain middle class, the rich, well they are greedy bastards.  And everywhere there are opinions left over.  I suppose I cant call myself a poor person, many people call themselves poor because they are delusional.  It has been brought up that poor people have always xisted and always will.  Therefore there is not much to be done about them. 

So we should review the events of the last few weeks.  Four poor bastards make it through boot camp, turned into killers and go about the business of the day; snipers all, they act accordingly, shoot the enemy then piss on their bodies.  This offends the church goers because they say this is desecration of bodies and very UN-American (wow the spell checker just saved me).  What these Monday morning quarterbacks dont know is that when people are shot dead they lose their body functions, they become incontinent of stool and urine.    So these dead bodies that concern our state department so much, are a clear indication of the lack of education among our leaders.  I believe it was Shakespeare that said, "all is fair in love and war". Soldiers on occasion piss on themselves, especially when they see death approaching.

Then our pal Mitt "the Mormon" Romney turns out to have a big bank account in the Cayman Islands. He refuses to release his tax returns .... obviously because he is hiding a few billion dollars from Uncle Sam and he hasnt paid taxes on them.  Remember Regan he hadnt paid any taxes either, so he volunteered to pay $250K, to show how fair he was. I dont know about the rest of you but I feel, wet.   He also gave about $18,000,000.00 dollars to the Mormon Church, the Church of the Latter Day Saints.  So he gets a free pass to heaven, even for God this is a lot of money. 

So according to our poor people on PBS we have to do something, we cant cut food stamps.  I have been in line at the grocery store and watch people with $400 dollars of food and not one fruit, not one vegetable, everything is microwaveable.  Their very fat/obese children asking for chocolate, soda.

Then the poor man follows with his wife and kid, not so many groceries.  You can see the struggle on his face when he reaches for a box of condoms.  He knows that he cant feed another mouth.  The cart has pampers, formula, baby stuff .... and recyclable condoms.  No steaks .... no fish, no fruits, no vegetables.

When they go through the line with food stamps, they use to buy beer and expensive cereals, empty calories.  They would buy things they didnt have to cook.  They had an underground market for food stamps, they trade them for pennies on the dollar, drugs.  So what is the answer.

The shelve life of rice is 35 years, for a couple of bucks you can buy 25 pounds.  This will feed a family of three for a year.  Well maybe a family of Asians or Mexicans.  However, they could get the bag of rice free, just sign the poor man sheet and get a bag of rice.  We could add peanut butter, jelly, milk, cheese, beans, lentils, corn, flour.  Now most of them do not have a pot to piss in ..... so they can probably could use pots and pans.  They also dont know how to cook.  So maybe a book of instructions.  They still need fresh fruits and vegetables. 

The fact is that it would be cheaper for us to give them food then food stamps, an occasional ham, turkey, wouldnt hurt.  Maybe a free fishing license, free hunting license.  Hell you cant get from my house to San Antonio without seeing at least a dozen dead deer.  My sons neighbors came by and left him some sausage, steaks.  He shot two deer.  Hell we have to dodge them on the roads.  Quail, duck, pigs, rabbits.

When we were kids we ate nopales, our fruit was prickly pears, we hunted rabbits, we ate pigeons.  We took the pomegranates and ate those.  We had chickens and ate them, all of it, not just the breast.  We had a big can with flour, the bags were use by my mother to make dresses.  We had a big can of beans.  Not even the weeds were sacred, we ate those too.  Now my kids wont eat onion, my partner wont eat green beans, pork, only chicken breast.  My niece wont eat vegetables, doesnt like them.  Try getting them to eat a raw carrot. 

So why are people starving in America?  Hell John the Baptist, was a fisherman, but the church doesnt teach fishing.  We use to eat buffalo, horse, deer, elk, moose.  In Sweetwater .... they eat rattle snakes.  In Louisiana they eat frog legs, alligator.  In other places they eat possum.  In the Army we ate LERP rations, C-rations, powdered eggs. 

You look at the candidates and you know they are eating well, now Dick Chaney was out hunting some birds when he shot his friend, in the neck with a shot gun. 

Willie Nelson, helped stop, horse meat exportation.  This is a man that drinks, smokes pot, I bet he pisses in the woods.  But he finds it offensive that we butcher horses and export the meat to France.  The horse is sacred for Willie, in some ways he is a lot like Mitt, he doesnt pay his taxes, then he wants us to buy his records, so he can square with them.  I feel wet!
