I'm not conservative, 26, or female. It also says I'm smarter than just 49% of the population, while IQ tests say at least 80%. Maybe I'm just good at taking tests and Facebook is the real me?

Paragraph 1 states 46.2 million people lived below the official poverty level, and 10.4 million of those were working, so you conclude that the remaining "choose not to work". But the next line states that that first number includ

It is absurd to say that because someone augments their benefits with $300 a month in child care, their problems are over. Can you point to where in that PDF you got that 80% number? Like, if you're going to cite a link, could you use

I think you should reconsider the assertion that poor in the US usually don't work. Minimum wage jobs leave you just above the poverty level if you're single, below if you are supporting someone. Considering cash based, under the

Can't tell if sarcasm, considering that Thatcher's move was to privatise, until she ran out of public assets. This pithy quote is also wrong because it assumes the economy is a zero sum game and misses the point that this article

California has cheap community colleges. It's $99 per credit (a class is 3 or more credits) where I grew up, plus books. http://www.ccac.edu/default.aspx?id=137210 $400 for a life skill might sound like a great deal, b

Your use of TM™ indicates to me that you are arrogant and cynical. You personally can't make the world better (see: dictator) and that really hurts an ego. You would rather see yourself as a helpless pesant being oppressed than admit you're

I think it's more like the bank manager kept installing low-security locks (edit: because their supplier gave a wowie presentation) when the locksmith advised upgrades. I'm neither a bank manager nor in government but I've worked on project
