This guy is such a turkey. His columns are pathetic. Some times people are victims of circumstances - poor education, poor health, etc. He needs to get real and quit the holier than thou pontificating.

Azanon said:The problem is, this is just one thing you cant make a sweeping generalization about. I'm sure in some cases, people are indeed reeping what they sow by their slothfulness.

So he's an idiot on this point, mainly because he made a generalization and applied it to all poor people. It would have been equally idiotic to generalize that all poor people are victims of circumstance and, thus, deserve subsidy.

a very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything but not enough to do nothing
Scrooge said:Suze Orman still around? Wasn't she big in the late 1990s? I thought she was too fruity to have staying power, but I guess it goes to show how well I understand humans
