The poor will always be with us, but now they have been divided into two camps. One faction consists of the struggling everyman and the other camp is populated by poor people easily misled by pernicious right wing propaganda that appeals to their prejudiced world view. These deluded poor vote against their own self interests by voting in Republican politicians who actually redistribute America's wealth from those in most need to those needing golden shower curtains or 400 dollar bottles of wine to impress their contemporaries.Yes Republican lawmakers will vote to cut 40 billion dollars in food stamps and then vote to keep the 40 billion dollar taxpayer financed subsidy to the richest corporations in the world , the oil and gas industry.The deluded poor find this righteous because some puffy haired preacher spouting made up gospels of prosperity says God wants the rich to keep on being gluttonous at the expense of everyone else. The simply poor, who are not fooled by mega church pastors driving luxury bling mobiles, are hoping the deluded poor will realize that Jesus implied that whatever was done to or for the least of his flock was done to Him. I think most people believe what Jesus taught about it being harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle is the true reality.After all what benefit is it to gain the whole world and loose your immortal soul?
