the rich in the USA and elsewhere have received state welfare much larger than the poor.
the welfare of bailouts, QE, and corporate law, banking law, and computerized market rigging are all
reasons why the governments are responsible for fostering an environment of welfare
for the investment class. many of these people don't work either. so don't disdain the
poor single mother or the poor single man without a good job who is getting medicaid.
most of the rich wouldn't be able to break out from poverty all on their own starting
from scratch either. especially today when the deeply entrenched policies of government
favor the corporate and banking elite, not the little guy American.
