Apparently, bankruptcy is only for rich people.


Via Atrios, we learn from Digby that Republicans hate poor people. No way! Get outta town.

    Yep, that's why we tip $20 when we go out to eat.

  4. This kind of stuff is exactly why I hate being where I am on the political spectrum. I am much more inclined to people who have empathy for the poor and feel compassion for them (even if I don't agree with the solutions they propose) than I am with the screeching ninnies who ooze contempt towards such people with every key stroke.

    It's just downright embarrassing I tell you...I got involved with politics and the study of economics in the first place because I wanted to make the world a better place for everybody in it... But for the most part, all I see from the so-called right in Canada is a vexatious hatred towards so many different kinds of people.. a hatred that is palpable that I can't stomach their company.

    I am in no man's land, because I don't fit in with the right when it comes to their motivations and I don't fit in with the left, because I don't fit in with their solutions.

    I think much of what seems to manifest itself as right-wing think online is thinly veiled sadism... honestly. I could understand people being indifferent... but the right wing in Canada seems to actively want to harm poor people, who are the most vulnerable members of society. It's disgusting.
