Hey that's the government's work so by all means let's give the government more power to stop itself from doing the thing that it's already doing because that works.

For the Middle Class: Only Pay them around $35,000 a year
Make them work 70 hour work weeks
Take away half their pay to stupid programs
Take away Blue Collar education in high school so they're forced to pay for college
Charge them $50,000 - $300,000 for college
Charge them $50-$400 for a cellphone
Charge them $700-$3,000 a month for housing
Charge them $300+ for a small amount of food. The family has to stretch small portions to make it last.
Don't let them qualify for any help
The person who makes 35,000 in reality has about 23,000 after deductions. Then after paying all their basic expenses, at the lowest costs, you're left with about 18,000. Factor in College, you now have -$32,000. Congrats, you're now poorer than the "poor," except you work a harder job and longer hours.
For the "Poor" (made rich by the middle) Class: Pay them around $18,000 a year
Make them work 40 hours or less work weeks
They keep most or all of their pay
Allow them free blue collar education in the Job Corps because they "qualify"
Give them free or nearly free college
Give them free or nearly free cell phones
Free or $300 a month housing
Food Stamps let them buy hoards of food that last the whole month. They usually don't have to worry unless they eat like shit.
Almost all social programs benefit them. PLUS welfare, disability, etc. on top of their free shit
The "poor" class doesn't really have to worry about finances. Everything is usually covered. Plus, they have more time to themselves because they don't have to work nearly as hard or long. Jobs that pay in the range that allows you to be qualified for programs are usually easy jobs like being a cashier at McDonalds. If you think that's hard, you've never lifted 50 pound boxes all day or engineered a whole fuckin' building! Since they have most things covered, they get to keep most of their pay and blow it on whatever they want. Usually they buy drugs or tattoos, and then complain about how evil the 1% is because they're so fucking retarded with their money.
This "poor class" in reality is as bad as the 1%, in fact, they work together. The "poor" vote for 1% to get free shit, and in return, these evil 1% bastards stay in power and the middle class starts to disappear. This allows the possibility of a dictatorship.
The Truely Poor Class:
These are individuals who really do have NOTHING. They try to get work, but for some reason: like a criminal past or drug abuse they can't find help to deal with, they can't get a job. These people really want to make it, but don't know there's programs available to them. OR, theses are people with degrees or some other kind of education who can't get jobs, and now struggle with bills. Sometimes these people are homeless, and are stereotypes as lazy, because of the fake "poor" people that run amok in our country. Our society doesn't usually try to help these truly needy individuals, like fixing the system to allow people in trouble to get on their feet. Instead, it tries to bribe the lazy to gain votes. Now we have a suffering middle class and a poor class no one seems to care about.
Systems that enphaize handouts/authoritaianism don't work: I'm looking at you Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Facists, Republicans. Removing the middle class is what these programs are doing, creating more division our nation doesn't need. Stop trying to give shit away. Nothing is free, SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR IT.

I just love your sweeping generalizations about the ones you call 'poor'. (Where do you get you sources from anyway?) You act like those in other classes don't abuse their funds and programs too. The fact is: humans, no matter what labels we give ourselves and each other, will be humans. We sometimes/often scheme and cheat to get ahead. Don't deny the fact that those in all classes have done so. What about the middle class doctors who are frauds and ruin lives, cheat taxes, etc? I guess they're okay because they're not 'fake poor'.
Fact is, those in the "truly poor class' are sometimes forced to apply for welfare and become some of the 'fake poor'.
Everyone is in the same boat with a big leak in it. It's sinking and the 1% is laughing while the sheep fight each other over who's to blame; all while putting in futile hope in our "leaders" to help them. It's ironic that this country is called "United States of America". We couldn't be more divided.
Let those welfare/SSI scammers suffer from their own stupidity and laziness. They're not getting anywhere anyway. Leave the ones who are legit about it alone.

I'd cynically say "North Korea isn't communist, never has been, and never will be" (because it's true, they're much closer to absolute Monarchy/national socialism) but the fact is, that's just how it eventually becomes if communism is attempted.

I'd be careful with comments like that. Communism is an ideology and should be treated as such. What I'm saying is that it should only be judged by what it actually says, not by what people who call themselves (or are called by others) communists do. Not even the Soviet Union was ever communist. It was a goal they were working towards, yes, but it was never actually achieved.

The people never abandoned it, the leaders did. Notice how all of these nations collapsed at their most capitalist: The USSR, East Germany, Socialist Romania, Socialist Poland, Socialist Hungary, Socialist Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Socialist Albania. The collapsed at their most capitalist. If Socialism was the cause of USSR's collapse then it would have fallen apart in the 30s, or 50s, when it was at it's most Socialist, not in the 80's after the re-introduction of capitalism. Even then most people didn't want the USSR to fall apart, in the USSR Referendum (the only one they did) the vast majority of people voted to keep the USSR, and look at polls in eastern Europe now, most people are saying life before 1989 was better. The People clearly didn't abandon it. Anyway, I'd hardly say capitalism works.

It is funny how the work of the rich is placed as so much worthy than the poor,
when they do so much less physical work and have more leisure,
and in reality could be replaced much more easily than any working class person.
Give anyone a ton of money, and some schooling on how to handle it, and you will have wealth.
But I would love to see the rich switch places and do physical work everyday for the rest of thier lives.

"But I would love to see the rich switch places and do physical work everyday for the rest of thier lives."
Well then they've become the poor, and now they'd be part of the exploited and oppressed class, so you've defeated the purpose.
"and in reality could be replaced much more easily than any working class person."
You should see how it's going to be in just 10 years, when artificial intelligence comes of age. The rich are going to have to pretty much alter reality to convince people they're still useful.

Oh bull.
In America, you have TWO YEARS before a bank is allowed to begin foreclosure. And that's only if not a single payment has been made in that time.
I'd ask you to provide citation and examples of each of these instances, but for even if you bothered, I have three rebuttal citations waiting for each.
That last one in the *Poor* category is especially stupid since it's non-quantifiable, hyperbolic and inflammatory.
And Leftists are just as guilty of the stuff laid on on the left side of this thing as Right-Wingers are. Need I go into Warren Buffet's inefficient and dangerous transportation of oil by rail which is the *true* reason behind Obama's denial of the Keystone Pipeline? Or perhaps all of the 'Green projects' that have gone belly-up, into which The Left poured *billions* of our dollars? Maybe you'd like me to delve into Barney Frank's atrocities via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
You can't assign crimes to certain political parties as a matter of fact.
Criminal acts, abuse of the poor and corruption knows no party boundary. And don't you even *try* to continue the lie about 'Well, one party lies more than the other...'
It's a lie no matter who says it. As far as I'm concerned, both are becoming rotted. We need something more akin to British Parliament in this country with numerous parties representing more specific interests. And *NO* dynasties like Clinton, Bush or Kennedy. NO lifetime jobs. NO terms greater than four years.
It's a disgrace, what's happening now, and lies like this only add to the 'tail-chasing' futility.

Yes, too many options for big money to buy out would truly hinder politicians working solely to their donators interests. Frankly what I think needs to happen is either multiple parties or no parties and a carved in stone limit to the means by which a candidate can conduct their campaign, all ads paid for by taxes and absolutely nothing extra allowed by any means, a political ad appearing paid for by private funds receiving a stiff penalty to whoever paid for it, so every candidate gets exactly the same time to deliver their message. Limit the time to say what they mean to say and you'll likely cut mudslinging out completely when candidates have finite time to tell the voters what they'll be voting for.

A Dedication to J.C. and K.M.
One, a Radical, Socialist Rabbi.
Believed by some to be the Son of a god.
The other a Radical Socialist Political Thinker and Writer.
Who liked a beer or two or, perhaps even three.
Both with beards and long hair.
Both mocked in their time for their views.
Against the Ruling Class(es) of their society.
One kicked over the Money Changers tables.
The Market Traders of their day.
INRI:-IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVAERVM.
Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews
SPQR
SENATVS POPVSQVE ROMANVS
The Senate and People of Rome.
Always a Ruler and a Ruled.
The other wrote Das Kapital.
A treatise against on the horrors he saw, present and forthcoming.
Of the inequalities of Capitalism and the Industrial Age.
Of how the wealthy and powerful controlled the poor and powerless.
The theory of Capital and the Free Market run mad!
Would Adam Smith Laugh or Weep?
Would Galbraith and Keynes shout: “I bloody told you so”?
The money lenders are still there.
In Temples of Glass and Steel.
Still buying and selling, the Rulers, the interchangeable Political Class.
A Red Star.
A Hammer and Sickle
Uniting the Rural and Agricultural with the Scientific and Industrial
One in harmony with the other.
For the benefit of ALL.
The People, the Workers, the real producers of the wealth of the nation,
Mere replaceable parts in the huge and cold Industrial machine.
That blocks out the Sunlight.
Denied access to an education that might expose
the Truth of their History or Her-story.
And cause them to Rebel and bring down those ‘false edifices’
That have been raised in ‘their name and for their benefit’
INRI:-IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVAERVM.
Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews.
Nailed to a Cross for his Dissenting Views.
Surely, more than a ‘cottage industry’ the manufacture of such crosses?
So many were Crucified.
We don’t even remember their names.
Who really received their pieces of Silver?
Was it Judas?
Or those that voted for the Death of a Socialist Rabbi
That held differing views?
A Red Star. A Hammer and Sickle
Uniting the Rural and Agricultural with the Scientific and Industrial
One in harmony with the other.
For the benefit of all.
For the Benefit of ALL.
The truisms held within of both were bastardised, perverted.
For the benefit of the few,
While the many lived lives that were “nasty, brutal and short”.
One can lead to a Theocracy.
A Religious Police State.
Where dissent can lead to Torture, Exile or Death.
A Religious Police State.
Where neighbour spies on neighbour.
One can’t be too careful, for there are heretics everywhere!
But never mind. We’ll give you your ‘pieces of silver’.
The other could lead to a Political Police State.
Or Capitalist Police State
Where dissent could lead to Torture, Exile and Death.
A Political Police State.
Where neighbour spies on neighbour.
One can’t be too careful, for there are heretics everywhere!
We’ll give you your ‘pieces of silver’.
The Free-Marketer’s and ‘Democrats’ shout
constantly and loudly that:
There are countless ‘Reds under the Bed’!
“Goddamned Commies are everywhere”!
Trying to take our wealth and freedoms.
If they become too Strong, why then,
“We’ll just Nuke the Bastards”!
So! Spy and Inform on your neighbour.
We’ll give you your ‘pieces of silver’.
Ideological Wars are fought directly or in proxy.
Sent by those they trust or fear.
Which is the Worst?
Which is Better?
Trust or Fear!
The masses trudge off to a meaningless death
In a Foreign Land of which they Know Nothing.
Under false banners that say what they do not mean.
Injunctions and Blockades are imposed by other ‘United Nations’.
On one side or another, does it matter?
Positions can change as fast or a slow as on a chess board.
Check and Check Mate, you Mother-Fucker!!!
What would J. C. and K. M. think?
Would they shake their heads?
At how much we have corrupted their thoughts and words.
Natural progress of Humanity till the Apocalypse?
The endless creation of a dysfunctional Nation-State?
Remember the Treaties, Westphalia, Paris, Rome,
London, Washington, Potsdam is there no end to the secrets and lies
Built on the ruins of its predecessors?
Towards the Utopia that is still out of reach.
But, it’s just over the final hill if we do as we are told.
