The way it was taken by many, is that poor shouldn't be comfortable. Following a common thru line, that the poor shouldn't have any nice things.

Ah, yes, I have encountered that old 19th century distinction between the "deserving poor", and the "undeserving poor".

We should have evolved - as societies - a bit beyond that, instead of seeking to punish people for their poverty.

For some this whole demonization process of the poor, is cloaked with the "tough love" sensibility. But when you let them carry on long enough, you realize they want to the poor to indeed be that poor from historical TV dramas wearing burlap sack clothing & living in shacks. They want people to aspire to own an automobile to get to work, but any issues ( pulled over by police for tail lights ) caused by that car. they then didn't deserve that car. Meat? Why do they meat? What do you mean they see movies? TV? Why do they watch the news?

It's always this presentation that the poor as you are undeserving, but ask those same people the very same things those people couldn't live without.

Pence mocked for saying Democrats want to make poor people ‘more comfortable’

Critics online wondered why making the poor comfortable was such a bad thing

Vice president Mike Pence told a large, often maskless, crowd at a Florida rally on Tuesday that Democrats want to make “poor people more comfortable”, which liberal online commenters seized on as an accidental endorsement of their vision.

“When we cut taxes, roll back regulations, and advance freedom, their agenda is higher taxes, open borders, soicalised medicine, a Green New Deal, and abortion on demand,” Mr Pence told a crowd of activists from Turning Point USA, a conservative youth group. “They want to make rich people poorer, and poor people more comfortable. We have fought to make every American richer, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”

So did journalist Kurt Eichenwald, who wrote, “I guess since democrats want people with $18,445,342,001 to pay taxes so they have – with no investment return included – $18,444,342,001, and also want people not paid a living wage to get a living wage, @VP is right.”

People for Bernie, an activist group dedicating to continuing Vermont senator Bernie Sander’s democratic socialist movement, wrote that Mr Pence’s speech was a “good message”.

The vice president used the speech to tout the administration’s economic record, claiming that under Mr Trump median household income rose by the largest amount ever recorded. This is not an entirely complete picture. Incomes have spiked under Trump, but official methodology for measuring this figure has changed over the years, other years have been equally high, and income gains began under former President Barack Obama. The Trump administration also spearheaded a set of tax cuts in 2017 whose benefits disproportionately flow to the wealthy, including tax breaks that expire for everyone but high earners by the mid-2020s.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday not to sign a $892-billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.

The outgoing Republican president’s threat, with less than a month left in office, throws into turmoil a bipartisan effort in Congress to provide help for people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.

“The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter. “It really is a disgrace.”

Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation on Monday night.

Trump said he wants Congress to increase the amount in the stimulus checks to $2,000 for individuals or $4,000 for couples, instead of the “ridiculously low” $600 for individuals currently in the bill.
Trump also complained about money in the legislation for foreign countries, the Smithsonian Institution and fish breeding, among other spending.

Woman Goes Off On Cops As Son Is Arrested In Wild Confrontation

A wild arrest took a bizarre turn when mom got involved, and it's on video.
www.tmz.com www.tmz.com

Her kid mouthes off to the cops, swearing at them ... "I see the bitch in all of your f***ing eyes." He then orders cops to unload their guns ... seriously.

His mother then totally loses it ... hurling epithets at the cops. They tried explaining to her they were investigating a crime, and she fired back ... "I don't give a s*** about your f***ing investigation."
Click to expand...
She then orders the cops to "get the f*** out of here." When they approach her she screams, "Get the f*** out of my f***ing face." Oh, there's more ... "F*** you and your f***ing mother who birthed your f***ing ass."

Speaking of caps...these two are lucky they didn’t get capped by the police.

(And why do I get the feeling that if these people were black, they would’ve been?)
