Poor Could Draw $6,000 a Year Under Bloomberg Plan

Submitted by george smith, Jun 19, 2007 13:49

It is always good to help the poor and as one myself I think this program for New York is wonderful

but the main reason we are poor is that our capitalistic society has sent our good jobs to Asia and

most of us are left to scratch the ground for something to eat like chickens. Capialism has ruined

the American economy for the regular folk and will lead us into economic doom -- just look at our

national debt. We have two ways to save our poor folk -- go socialist or communist or prison and

hospitals. Capitalism is a sham!
