FOX On the Poors: 'It Gets A Little Comfortable To Be In Poverty'




CAVUTO: The argument, Charles Payne, is that once you get them, it's hard to stop them, so the benefit is there and it's hard to take the benefit of it away and the more people that are getting them, then it's just exponentially grows.

PAYNE: Yeah, well there's absolutely no doubt about that, that there's this idea that, you know, between the food stamps and the welfare and the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit and the local programs, you know, it gets a little comfortable to be in poverty, you know... and I know people are going to.... listen. No. Listen, I've lived it first hand. I've seen where people don't go to work because they get everything paid for them. The incentive is not there.

He's a true purveyor of Ayn Rand bullshit and always no matter what takes the side that will benefit the uber-wealthy. What a piece of shit.

"Entertainment channel." I can't refer to it as news. I think of them like phony wrestling, or bowling, or hillbilly handfishing.

Nothing wrong with those shows if that's what you like. Just not expecting information of any relevance to come out of them.

by that delicate manicured hand, and take him to IT, so he can enjoy first hand the poverty that is so comfortable, it will be hard for him to leave, even to go back to his propagandizing masters and shove his head up their comfortable asses, those dark polyp encrusted caves where he appears to currently reside.

Why is it so important to punish our poor, terrorize our elderly with schemes to reduce their meager SS while making their health care program unusable to them, chastise and spit on our disabled for no longer being useful slaves while implying they just quietly die?

Why the fuck are so many, so evil?
Why also are we to find common ground with these soulless living maggot incubators so they only get to indulge in half their desired sadistic sport of starving out of existence the poor, elderly, and disabled whose lives are already a living homage to despair and suffering that will never quite be hellish enough to put a smile on their ugly entitled faces?

To make it at least bearable, "comfortable" while still waiting for better chances to come along.

These people only reveal themselves. Why do they think other people won't work? Are they admitting they wouldn't? He has likely made enough money to retire in relative comfort by now, so why doesn't he stop working?

Cavuto's job is to get America's working class angrier at the poor more than the 1% who are the true villans.

under a freeway overpass, you must be "comfortable." Generic mac & cheese for dinner, cockroaches for pets -- what else do you need to be comfortable as long as you don't have to live outside and eat out of dumpsters?

I hope when Cavuto and those other asshats die and go to Hell they are condemned to an eternity of the sort of poverty they think is "comfortable."

Fascist, jackboot mentality there.

They are bound by duty, oath and paycheck to vilify someone as a distraction for what their masters do.

Now, if the poor had representation or any way of responding to being the scapegoats in a ponzi scam of manipulation and rigged news, etc., then the bobble-heads would stop being verbal bullies against the weak, the poor and the disenfranchised.

Bullies will get away with what they can if they feel they won't be stopped, ey?

Oh, BTW, I am one of the poor and I think those relying on the HUGE, (I mean gigantic) amounts of corporate welfare in so many ways are far too comfortable. Of course, tax payers should not be too concerned, if at all, about that.

Have to pay daycare for your toddler while working for minimum wage and there isn't much left over. Spend a few years not working and try to get a job without recent work history.

OTOH lets not assume that everyone collecting benefits is as unable to provide for themselves as is claimed.
