Subject: South Carolina Lt Governor compares poor people to stray animals
" "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said."
Stay classy, fella.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I am trying to find his response to the outrage... it was even classier. The daily show capped it pretty well the other night.
Basically, he rescinded his previous comment, then... said the same thing again... super classy, classiness to the max.
It is important to note that he is talking about in the region of 50% of students across the board. I suspect that his message was a cloaked metaphor for black-stereotypes, but that is really neither here nor there, when you take his sentiment as a generic statement. This guy really doesn't like poor people from the look of it. Socioeconomic disadvantages be damned, these people are all irresponsible whippersnappers... apparently.

I hadn't seen the guy before you posted that clip, and I have to admit I'm a little underwhelmed. I was expecting a guy in a top hat, with a black cape and twirly moustache.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Our state's issue is Poor kids! Not the wide spread curruption or horrible lack of education, out super unhealthy population, wanky tax laws, bad infostructure, unwillingness to let new companies in to spur competition. Blame everybody but purselves. Southern states like these (I'm looking at you alabama) will continue to do bad as long as instead of fixing a problem they can redirect anger to one group or another.

Not just poor kids, but poor kids breeding because they're given a school lunch.

Sure is great. A few tax cuts here and there for the upper class he so obviously favors and bam, he'll be able to tie little kids to railway tracks again.
Of course he might have invoked the infinite rage of the soccer mums with too much spare time.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

you have no knowledge of how a society works, if you have a society with low birth rates then you have an aging society, what happens when every one is over 70 with only 20% of the population able to work.
this Lt Governor is a fine example of a rich person forgetting that their money was made by poorer people.
States like south Carolina have problems due to poor education, lifestyle, lack of bettering their own society, not because of kids, South Carolina has been part of a vicious circle for a long time, uneducated children go on to be poor people that produce poor children that will be poorly educated an so on

That's not me giving that piece of wisdom, that's Cynthia Davis, a Republican State Representative from Missouri, she was talking about giving lunch to poor kids over the summer break.

This is akin to one japanese former minister talking about how the Tokyo homeless were very well off because charities were setting up some soup kitchens for them and they had hamburgers to eat.

I have a modest proposal you may be interested in, of how we may both stop world hunger in the future and relieve it today.

Agreed.
There should be mandatory sterilization of poor and indigent peoples.
Yeah I agree! Mandatory eugenics, first we start with the politicians
