In reply to the discussion: Why Republicans Are Opposed to Supporting the Poor - An Open Secret [View all]Doreen
(11,686 posts)If the poor hate other poor people then it is another easy way to thin the herd because one poor person will kill another. Now they may still be imprisoned but that give the rich the chance to work them harder and for absolutely no money. Look at the hate that some of these people in the south have for people who they just do not seem to realize are in the same situation. Why do you think there are rich congressmen at those rallies that they have spewing hate? They are simply stoking the fire for those to kill people and to kill people who may have it a little better and a little better educated. Notice right now except for people of color and different religions that they have been brought to believe that it is the middle class and down that is at fault for their failure. The reason religion ( particularly Christianity ) is encouraged is because religion has always been the tool for controlling the masses. If the pastor or priest tells them god said to never rise up or question anything then they will not.
