Crap yes, the rich pay less taxes. Hellooooooooooooo. And if a lot of
poor people got rich tomorrow, they would not do as well in the handling
of their own money, as it is something that requires thought and
education.

Ive got 3 financial idiots here (not counting the very weak wife.

One of them got $20 for Christmas and decided to get some summer
sausage. She went to QAlbertsons and bought a 1lb summer sausage fo
$9..even though she knew the same brand was $3.50 at Kmart.

When I brought it to her attention that should could have bought 2.5
sausages at Kmart..she looked at me with this glassy stare and said
she only needed 1, then walked off.

Disown 'er. g


There are a significant number of the poor..who are simply unable to
establish the value of money or what can be bought with out 30 minutes
outside of the Want of the Moment. They are in fact..mentally ill
when it comes to money.

Ain't that the truth? The old lady who used ot live next door is out
in a moldy old travel trailer on the other side of town now. She
seems to go out of her way to shop at the most expensive grocery
stores, despite living on Social Security. She smokes 3+ packs of
cigs a day and feeds nothing but FancyFeast to her 1-7 cats daily.
I don't see how she can do that on SS, let alone buy gas, pay car
payments (2nd car from a rat rectum used car rapist who repoed her
last one after she qui paying for it the second time it blew an
engine), etc.

Others buy the smallest (least value) item at the store, despite the
fact that most stores give you the cost per ounce right there on the
price tag under the item. Go figure!

Financial sanity should be taught in schools.

Firearms safety and training should be taught in schools.

Contraception should be taught in schools.

Voluntary sterilization should be performed on welfare recipients if
they already have a child and still want/need welfare. Look how well
Roe v. Wade worked on the crime rate? (sorry, -this- conservative
believes in sterilization or abortion for the idiots.)

Driving courses should be taught to everyone going for a license.

But that's all common sense. Who'd want that?
