Rich Whites Breeding like Cockroaches--(and socioeconomic gap widening)

[MuniAddict]

Currently in the US, a single person earning less than $1,000,000 per year is considered poverty level. There's just no way to make ends meet on anything less.

Well of course, with the price of unicycles skyrocketing

Manhattan's 35,000 White non-Hispanic toddlers are being raised by parents whose median income was $284,208.00/year. (Undoubtedly a few hundred billionaires and many millionaires in that group....)

The median income of other Manhattan households with toddlers was:

Asians: $66,213.00
Blacks: $31,171.00
Hispanics: $25,467.00 (Prolly very few billionaires or millionaires in that group....)

Today's NYTimes, page B1. Scientists are convening to seek ways to deal with this scurge surge.

Umm.... Is there a problem?

Of course. First off, there's no place to ride or walk without running over some rich White kid.

Second, I'm tired of supporting these rich White kids out of my tax pocket with corporate welfare!

generally if people are rich, they dont live on welfare.

'Bigot' was a huge exageration, I'll admit. But monkeyman seemed to say that being a different race has no effect on how hard it is to make money or get a job in the USA, which in my opinion, is a lie. But what do I know?

Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

It's that they are reproducing like crazy, and we poor and middle class persons have to support them so they can live off Corporate Welfare!

is it just me or should you hate all people benefiting form "corporate welfare" not just one particular race?

What exactly is corporate welfare?

A corporation is an economic entity. I work for a non profit corporation, I don't believe we provide any welfare, but we do have employees and they get paid, so is that welfare or economic exchange?

As I understand welfare in the politicized sense, corporations cannot provide welfare since they require an exchange of time, product, or services for cash.

So are we talking about return on investments? Is it welfare to make money on money? Or are we talking about the rich folks at the top of he corporate food chain who make bank living the high life?

Sex, race, both of which determine your appearance, are significant in how people are incorporated into society. Discrimination on appearance is not uncommon and most certainly plays a part in your predilection to poverty or wealth.

If you have not truly experienced difference, i.e. you are white and live in a predominately white place, then take a trip sometime to Africa and be the white guy in a crowd of black people. You'll be seen like you've never known, the fishbowl effect will make you very uncomfortable, kinda like how it must feel to be a minority color/race in a white world.

Whoa there Chaz, don't suck the wind out of Billy's sails. He needs as much sensationalism as possible to avoid any, y'know, logical debate.

Corporations RECEIVE corporate welfare from the government.

Middle class tax dollars are given to billionaires.
