its not that I am a hater its just that I finding that companies are hiring and hiring more and more diverse cultures that are minoities and more minoities with little intelligence because we are in an era of dumbing down america which is all controlled by the liberal left song writers and media in hollywood and the news...

kids today are being brainwashed at every level about things from evolution to that stupid hoax known as global to equal rights for minorites to liberal arts bullcrap and all this politically correct nonsense..

which brings me to my point: the reason companies outsource to indi for it tech help and companies hire tons of minorities because they prey on those who are possibly from inner city ghettos and migrant immigrants with less intelligence so the can pay them the least amount of money to do the job.. This is going on at a global rate.. its not even a debate of whether its happening its happening.. why do you think our borders are wide open in mexico..because of greed.. big ceos and the liberal polititians provide an avenue where unintelligent immigrants with no formal
education can be trained in any job so as to limit pay roll amounts..

this is why you go to kroger the have self checkouts becuase companies are finding it easier and cost effective to hire less people with less intelligence and have machines run it all

sounds like terminator movie...wow--could be coming true..

just think about it next time when you have to press one for english and

directions on your new cell phone you ordered is all in spanish first then english and when you walk into the airport its in spanish first before english because of the greed of cheap labor and dumbing down america...

I will keep my bible my guns and my land you idiots can keep the change--obama is evil!!!

have you ever run Self Check Out at Kroger? i would not say that being able to manage 4 robots at one time, handling all the customer service necessary with each order (engaging, answering questions, processing alcohol/tobacco purchase, checks, WIC, EBT, etc.) requires 'less intelligence', but rather, more intelligence...and the ability to think and react quickly. i don't like the robots at Self Check Out, frankly, but the reason stores are going with Robots is to better cater to our instant, fast-paced society. we are a generation of computer kids, raising computer kids...computerized checkout is to be expected. but the robots can't run themselves. it still takes a human to run them, talk to customers and handle problems.

Everyone is getting this all confused... I am not saying that machines are bad or our society needs to go back to the stoneage but I for one think progress is all good only if we dont have to walk inot a business and the person behind the counter is an idiot.... read and learn

 

What is the Liberal Left and What is its Goal?

by TYSK

The liberal left is neither a singular entity nor even a single group or organization. Liberalism is a mindset just as conservatism is a mindset. For the average liberal there is not one "goal" or outcome for which they strive.

I am sure that most individuals afflicted with a liberal mindset would be unable to name any particular goal for their beliefs. It is in many ways like a religion ... a set of pre-defined attitudes and opinions by which they make decisions in life. Most often these attitudes and opinions are not of their own formation or arrived at through considered thought. Instead, they are learned from others' repeated pronouncements of them. Those making these statements often have come to learn them in the same way. Much the same as fables and Bible stories are passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately many of the "proclaimers" are entrenched in the schools and colleges and their views are imbedded in impressionable minds not yet skilled in giving these ideas critical examination.

The key to the successful spread of liberalism is specifically its lack of critical thought on the results of liberal ideas and solutions for society's problems. In fact, to be judgmental or to offer analysis of liberal prescriptions is in itself considered being anti-liberal. Just as a critic of any religious denomination is labeled a heretic, so too critics of liberalism are labeled uninformed or unenlightened. In other words you must take their beliefs and accept them even if they are contradictory or counterproductive.

In order to accept liberalism a person must operate on an emotional level almost exclusively. Persons steeped in logic or the physical sciences are far less likely to be swept into the liberal camp. In addition, as people age and experience the trials of life and reflect on the cause-and-effect relationship of events they tend to become less liberal and more conservative in their thinking.

"Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over 30 who is not a conservative has no brains." Winston Churchill

Tragically, this means our young are the most vulnerable to liberal indoctrination. Whether by design or happenstance, it is a fact that the teaching profession has a history of attracting persons of a liberal, or leftist, ideology. This places them precisely where they need to be in order to spread their philosophy.

The tenth plank of the Communist Manifesto states, "Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc." Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels 1848

While most practitioners of liberalism have no true goals or agendas for their beliefs, those in position to affect public policy often do have such goals. The common liberal is but a pawn in the ongoing struggle between socialism and freedom. Those in power on the left know that our system of representative democracy enables them to pursue their statist agenda by winning over the majority of the voting public to their positions and candidates. They are well aware that most people have little time or inclination to study about or give great thought to important matters of the day. Instead, large numbers of voters cast their ballots based purely on emotional terms ... the very heart of liberalism's appeal.

(One could argue that the average conservative is no less a pawn for those on the right. Yet, by definition, a conservative arrives at his beliefs through the process of critical thought. As such, he is much less likely to be swayed by wrong-headed proposals even should they be offered up as "conservative". Most conservatives will weigh issues and solutions on their individual merits and only then decide if they are worthy of support.)

The true agenda of the left is statism or control of the society by a small elite group. They are a patient lot and willing to achieve their goals over a long period of time through seemingly minor and incremental changes in the laws and attitudes of the nation. Through the constant hammering of emotion driven issues education, the environment, child safety, gun control, nuclear war, etc. they gradually affect the laws and policies that govern our society. All the while moving us closer to their goal of a nation of serfs working for the benefit of the powerful few that will control every aspect of a citizen's life.

not interested in reading your little diatribe. not everyone who is a minority is an idiot...even those who speak broken english (whether foreign or domestic). it's people with small minds and arrogant attitudes that really get under my skin.

I know this, about 2 doz people recently got fired from my store for theft. All minorities and all too stupid to realize the camera above their registers actually took video of what they did. Some still denied it right up until the video was actually played back   (clearly showing them in the act). It was pretty cool to watch them get marched out in handcuffs, though.

we have lost a few employees due to theft, but not all of them were minorities. dishonesty is not exclusive to the unintelligent or minority classes. let's look at all the problems in the banks, wall street, etc.

if your store lost 2 doz. front end employees at one time, you must be really hurting for help!

when are people going to wake up that our own politicians by their own admission want open borders and stupid people in society..

The reason this is done is so the media can feed you this liberal bleeding heart nonsense of all the downtrodden and all the immigranst looking for a handout from our dear government which your wonderful OBAMA will grow at an alarming rate..

Over growth of government is to stifle free markets and to promote socialism and spread the inner city ghetto sob story, that we all need to give minorities and the less fortunate a handout... this is not a diatribe you ******* this is a matter of fact..

You can go into any business now and thier is a set number of token minorities working at the businesses to even the playing field so to speak. they dont hire someone for intelligence anymore just trainability, and they do this intentionally..

this is not to say minorities are any less intelligent than anyone else but the youth of america are becoming a bunch of ghettofied rap loving a holes with pants hanging off their ass and this ebonics bs ," me and him"--when its "he and I!" or that dumb sentence "Ya know wut im sayin"

I went to a blockbuster the other day and the kid behind the counter could barely speak proper english.. Is it the parents fault??? Not entirely--Its a plan set by our liberal leftist government to grow government so we are dependent on them , and brainwash our kids that are in schools idiotic **** about this global warming hoax and fine arts instead of reading writing and arithmetic. this is why when you go to busineses they seem dumber and dumber. Not all but it's growing at an alarming rate!

Liberalism is a dilapidated state of mind where politicians pander to all the minorities for votes to be elected with the promise of a government handout for them! Obama , right now is making friends with iraq, iran , north korea and fidel castro.. these are all dictatorship countries where government is big and free markets are non existent or stifled. this is to keep people as uninformed as possible. POWER.. greed and the groth of government dependant inner city ghettos.

ITs about power control and making government bigger... so the next time you see a blog that says why do I hate kroger, know that its not just kroger, its mcdonalds, its home depot, its at&t, its brinks, its sports, its everywhere. the dumbing down of america is a plan...

all companies now are either laying off or hiring lower payed workers at all corporate companies! for the middle class you can espect dumbing down americas
kids and hiring the dumbest people so we can pay them the lowest.

The only jobs that bypass this dilemma are jobs like nurse practitioners lawyers doctors firefighters engineers and so forth.. every business you go in besides these kinds of practices you can bet they will have some underpaid moron there to help you press one for english and two for mexico.. no wonder the farmers had ecoli in the food--who handles the food? illegal immigrants in the california farms who shat in the fields because they were either too lazy or to dumb to use a prota--potty

keep supporting obama people and this is what you will get---a big fat 0!

well, i will respectfully disagree. i do think it's the parent's fault...and whatever teachers these children had while growing up. i have 3 kids and i will not allow them to use improper grammar (though my 7 yo has that cute little kid speak that he is slowly outgrowing). i also will not allow them to use that short-hand speech that is growing out text messaging on the phone. acronyms are not conversation.

the real shame is that the adults allow the kids to speak this way. i don't. as a FE Supervisor, when i ask a member of my crew a question, i expect them to speak to me clearly and use complete sentences. i will ask them to repeat themselves until i can clearly understand what they are saying. i also make them speak in complete sentences to our customers and to smile politely. if they have the Kroger uniform on, whether they are off the clock or not, they are required to have their pants pulled up, i-pods unhooked and be aware of what is going on around them.

every generation bemoans the next one coming along. i remember as i was growing up listening to my parents say exactly the same things you are saying...and my mom told me about when she was growing up and how her parents were appalled at the general lack of respect in her generation. welcome to being a grown up. our youth are arrogant and lazy and entitled...but only until someone steps up to the plate and makes them realize that hard work and integrity are required to move ahead...and that there is something to work for.

if you don't like the quality of people you are working with, then i highly recommend that you find another market. get a degree (if you don't already have one) and move into the white collar world. there you will find people who don't use ebonics or wear their pants hanging off their butts. on the other hand, you will find other things to complain about, i am sure.

sewphisticate,

I found this web blog because I am a conservative guy trying to make a difference in our culture. I respect that you have three young kids and that you bring them up right and respect that you train your employees right.

I did not come on this blog to berate you.. I came on here because I was upset at my former company La fitness for telling me that I could not hold another full time job yet they would not give me more then 30 hours a week to make a living. Then on top of everything they would hire another black personal trainer after another for less money.

I am a personal fitness trainer and left a message on kroger's board because there is one near my house and I shop there from time to time. almost 70% of all the checkout people are black or some other culture besides white.

there is a something going on in our culture and its called reverse racism and socialism.. good luck with your kids and I respect you but remember our conversation when you go into at&t or the post office or a restaurant and the black guy behind the counter has his pants off his ass and he say you know wat im sayin...

Well BB,all I can say is just come in,hit the clock, give'm a good days work and get the hell out. Try not to take it with you after each shift. It can be a 8 hr shift or a 6 hour shift. Just back in through the front door with your pants down and in a short time its over. Maybe the economy will pick up this year and open the door for alot more hiring in other jobs. Afterall, when things get better, all these places that cut back will have to re-hire, that alone will open alot of doors when business picks up and economy rights itself. Maybe this year or next.

BamBam, thank you. i am sorry that you have had such a disappointing experience. you are certainly not the first person to go through such a thing, but it is never easy. i don't live in a bubble. i see what is going on in the world around me. but the best contribution "I" can make is to raise my kids to be better than their peers (in terms of personal integrity, work ethic, etc.) and to not tolerate mediocrity from my work crew. we are, in the most general of terms, a lazy, self-indulgent society. it cracks me up to hear everyone talking about how this is the 'worst recession in history'...not even by half! we are just so spoiled these days that if we can't afford ice cream we feel deprived. heck, i remember when ice cream was a luxury! but we, as a nation, have lived entirely too long on the belief that we borrow what we want and if we can't pay it back, then we just drop the debt. is it any wonder our kids are growing up with the attitude that they are entitled? generally speaking, nobody really works hard anymore....but the work still needs to be done. garbage will always need to be picked up, dishes will always need to be washed, grocery stores will need to be stocked and maintained...and who's going to do it?

sewphisticate,

sorry for me ranting earlier and God bless you with the reply and pray everyday for people like yourself who take pride in their work, kids, and world around them.. I also am not living in a bubble yet its hard to go through times where society rewards the lazy instead of the hardworking or the most qualified.. Its time we as citizens ban together and write people in congress who make entitlements for those in the workforce who are not qualified to do the work..

I will say one thing that I am very happy about, is I applaud Kroger for hiring those with down syndrome and others alike.. That is huge and makes me feel good because they look different but are some of the best workers and have the best attitudes. I wish their were more like them. that makes me happy..

I wish you all the best and just remember as you go through life never allow that rap group mentality and the lazy immigrant handout attitude to infiltrate the workforce or the job. I have no idea why where I live Georgia there are so many white kids emulating black kids with rap music and all this gangster mentality. I live in a nice neighborhood--Roswell Georgia..yet so many have their rap music blaring driving around in mom and dad's Cadillac SUV. it's really a shame. You are right we have people who are spoiled and used to entitlements,. Unfortunately for me I have to go back to school to get my EMT certification because the layoff from La Fitness. I just see it everywhere and its a shame and I do hope its a small phase for our culture and doesn't stick because it has ruined some of our youth in America.

lets close the Mexican borders and stop outsourcing to India

been unemployed for 6 months now but I will make it , and thanks for the reply.

Take care and God bless

being unemployed is one of the scariest places to be. it makes it even more difficult when you go into places and you see employees who don't care about their jobs. i am truly sorry you are in this position. i hope that you find gainful employment very soon!!

This is not a blog, it's a forum. There is a huge difference between the two. Your netiquette is in need of an education. If your going to preach about the dumbing down of America then you need to get your own ducks in a row first.

As for your comments, I have no comment other than if your looking for an all white neighborhood I suggest you move to one. If your living in a mixed area then your going to have learn to live with it if you intend on staying there.

regards.

the color of our skin does not define who we are as people. it is our actions and attitudes that do so. please do not be disrespectful to each other. if we call each other names, or give each other attitudes, then we are telling the world at large that it's okay to do so too. i don't know if any of you guys are in my area...for all i know you work in my store! i would be very disappointed to know that there is this much internal animosity based on skin color.

each crew at our store has a specific job to do...and without each specific crew, our store would fall apart. there is no crew that is more important than another. i work front end...i enjoy it because i like working directly with people. it's fun (though can be stressful when the customers are unhappy). BUT i wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the guys who unload the trucks and condition the store to keep it stocked and looking good. i wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the produce guys keeping all the fresh fruits and vegetables looking so delicious and tempting. i wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the deli and bakery crew working hard to prepare fresh foods that smell so good (baking bread and rotisserie chicken...yum!!) and give our customers an easy meal to take home to their families. i wouldn't have a job if it weren't for every single person who works at my store...no matter what they do! scrub toilets, push carts, sweep up spills, stock groceries, pick up trash, wash out rubbish bins, unload bascarts, scan groceries, bag groceries, answer questions, supervisors, managers, pharmacy techs.....whatever! we are all part of the same team.

i really hate coming in here and finding so much anger and hatred being directed at each other. i do not care what color your skin is. i do not care what kind of music you listen to. i do not care what your job is. you are a part of the same team i play for and i support your position in it. please do not be disrespectful to each other!

Sewphisticate,

  You might wonder if I work at your store?? well who knows right, but if frozen member did not try an agitated I would not have responded in such a way which tells me that both of you are of black culture or else you would not have responded sop quickly... who is he to judge me or place his views on me.. he said I can go live in all white neighborhood and that its people like me and blah blah blah...

listen, dont get mad at what is happening all around the world.. we entrust our companies to hire employess not based on skin color or ethnicity yet they do it all the time.

reverse racism and the need to satisfy the plight of the downtroddin is alive and well in not only in congress but in wallstreet and our private sector.. i am no racist and not a hater of cultures but I am aware when certain people probably fit the mold of the very problem I am talking about and strike back at me.. right now I am 45 different blogs discussing reverse discrimination in the wrokplace against whites for hiring and things that lead to their termination which has nothing to do with job performance..

President Obama is my main focus has he is a smooth talker yet his goal is redistribution of wealth and to help minorities including those who are not qualified to do the work which is required..

I originally came on this blog as a vistior and tried to connect with you by ending to say nice things but another member provokes me yet again even after I said nice things to you and then you just defended him!! so I really dont get you stance..

I said I agree that your --your prctices at kroger are applauded yet some practices at kroger are meant for segregation to hire black on black employees and grow their own agenda based not on skill but because of skin color. This is true because when you call certain stores and you hear their accent and tone, I know they are of black decent and they are either having a negative tone or its monotone...

You can all wonder who I am and thats fine and wonder who I work for or how intelligent I am or not but its what you do daily that will shape america not what I say..

If you are a manager and you are an african american and hire another based on that purpose someone will notice trust me.. it wont help the company nopr will it help the work force to hire those based on ethnicity.

I have been to several krogers around the country and notice that based on the ethnicity of the city is what is working at kroger up to 95%. That is of course partly normal but partly planned due to hiring quotas and preference of treatment of certain cultures..

everyone is always accopuntable no matter what YOU think... Good Luck

and of course God bless--we are all equal even in the krogers--hire that way and there is no problems

well, bam bam, i am not of the 'black culture' as you kindly put it. i am about as white as you can get. there are no racially diverse relationships in my family (even in my extended family), so i am not speaking out of a need to defend the 'black culture'. i am speaking out a need to defend humanity.

i grew up in a racially diverse neighborhood. i know what racism and reverse discrimination are. i have been physically assaulted because i am white. i have been passed over for promotions because i am white. i have been accused of being prejudiced because i am white and would not accept a proposition from a black man. i had a customer go to my manager and make a huge complaint against me because i didn't help her because she was black and i'm just a prejudiced white bitch (never mind that we were lined up down the aisles and i was unloading a senior citizen's cart while this particular customer had two teen aged daughters standing around doing nothing).

but no matter what i have personally suffered because of the color of my skin, i am not justified in persecuting someone else because of the color of theirs.

i wasn't just speaking to you, though you are very aggressive in your attitudes towards blacks. i was speaking in general terms of being respectful towards each other...regardless of skin color, economic class, job description. it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. we are all just human beings.

i will repeat one thing that Frozen said...this is NOT a blog! this is a forum. there is a difference. and, more specifically...it's a forum for Kroger employees. if you are not a Kroger employee, then you really shouldn't be on here trying to stir up trouble about a company you only think you know something about.

my boss is black. she hired me because i applied for the job. she promoted me because i worked hard to get promoted. my peers are black, asian, hispanic and white. they are old, young and middle aged. they are low class, middle class and even a little upper class. it doesn't matter. we are a team. if we don't work together, then our store will crash. it only takes one bad attitude to ruin the productivity of an entire work crew. i don't have time to waste worrying about what someone else might think of me because of something i have no control over...the color of my skin, the neighborhood i grew up in, what ever! i can control how i behave and how i treat other people. i choose to be respectful and i expect to be treated with respect.

teenagers have no control over the environment they were raised in. they are products of their parents until they get out on their own and have the opportunity to see the world outside their parent's eyes. what a fantastic opportunity we have when working with older teenagers...to expose them to kindness, hard work, diligence, integrity, compassion, honesty, tolerance, understanding. teenagers are still just kids...kids who need guidance. what course are you setting them on with your anger and hostility?

i did want to add one more thing...upper-middle class suburbia (where my ex-husband lives with his wife and my kids) views working in places like grocery stores, gas stations and fast food restaurants as beneath them...which is why you won't find many of them working in places like that. my older kids are embarrassed that i work at Kroger. well, too bad. it's what i do to make the money to pay for their clothes, food and college education. i am not ashamed of where i work or what i do. if i bussed tables or picked up garbage or cleaned out sewers i would not be embarrassed...so long as i did my job to the best of my ability and worked hard to earn the money i got paid.

if you want to know why your local grocery store has such a high percentage of a particular culture working in it...take a look at the attitudes of the other cultures in the area. it takes two to tango...and to argue.

my favorite quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt: 'nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent'

so many times i hear people blaming their problems on 'society', 'unfair hiring practices', 'racial discrimination', 'reverse racial discrimination'...when in reality, the problem lays fairly and squarely at their own feet.

I totally agree with all you are saying but thier is a division in our culture and it is among the self oppressed and the ones who make thier dreams happen. I totally respect and agree witheverything you are saying and I do have many black and hispanic friends and asian friends too...

what you are seeing in our culture is the people who live in less fortunate income brackets and have less intelligence being force fed a bunch of mumbo jumbo by our left wing media. the liberal media drives all the conspiracy theories and the untruths in our culture.. Its evident with this rap music culture..

MTV is mostly to blame with broadcasting a stupid show called cribs who are about people who make up approximately .05% of our society and make kids believe they can be rap stars and singers who make millions.. there is only room at the top for a few.. the others have to make the world go around unfortunately and these kids today dont get it.. not all but a lot..

take a look at the work force now compared to 30 years ago when my dad was about to retire.. my dad is 89 years old and was in the navy during world war 2. Now he had it tough during not only the great depression but after..

My point is I agree with you but I stated before I like you and I like your view points but you are missing my point and that is we as a society are being fed by the media that our culture must be diverse in all sectors in order to get a long which is a bunch of horse Manure!

Its happing in the work force as well with everystore has all races either unbalanced towards one side or completely white or a token person from each country to represent their company. My dear, one day you will see I am right, it's not blacks or any race I loath it's the poor uneducated and unwilling behavior to change and be accountable.. and this goes for all races..

The blog read why I hate kroger right.. well let me say why I like kroger.. Its clean usually, its Convienant mostly and its close to my house..

the reason why I dislike kroger and most corporate companies now is ... the under pay, the outsource, the hire based on racial quotas to fill, the use poor quality stock either from china or mexico, the hire unintelligent workers so as to allow more payroll cuts so the fat wealthy CEO's can put more money in their pockets.. but since I am a conservative I believe that if we stopped illegal immigration from mexico, prevented companies to outsource to india, fined those who do, and most important stop all the taxes coming from big government and all the brainwashing of kids from the media about global warming and green planet bul-- ****.. their is no such thing as man made gloabal warming or that humans came from apes opr that the world is 10 billion years old... but krogers employees may think so.. how much do some of those workers make at the front counters??? 7, 8 , 9 dollars an hour.

I posted 54,000 dollars last year when training private clients.. Please dont assume I ever worked at kroger, not that its a bad job, it is just the assumption that someone there is going to give me an etiquite lesson on history and sociology which was my major!!

all the best God bless--be yourself

lots of love

I actually do understand where you are coming from. I just disagree...somewhat. I don't watch the news because I dislike all the propaganda that goes on. I don't get cable or satellite t.v. so I am unaware of the current media culture...and i believe that I am a much happier, saner and smarter person because of it.

It's funny because a lot of what you are saying is exactly what my parents said when I was growing up.

You will, of course, pardon my assumption that you might work at Kroger as the name of this particular forum is 'Kroger Employee Forum'....so it would make sense to assume that people who post here are, in fact, working for Kroger.

I am completely unaware of the hiring quotas that you mentioned. My store hires from the list of applicants as positions come available. To apply for a job at Kroger, you must fill out an application either online or at the kiosk in the store. I don't recall there being a space on the application for race.

While I actually agree with you about the global warming thing, I do think that recycling, upcycling and striving to keep our world as clean and healthy as possible is a good thing. I don't want to go swimming in the lake and risk toxic exposure...or eat fish that has been poisoned by chemical dumping...or have my kids eat fruits/veggies that have been covered in chemicals. Being green is about being personally responsible for yourself and your stuff...which can only be good, right?

I would not presume to attempt to educate anyone on anything other sewing. I do not have a college education. I was a stay at home mom for 14 years before going back into the work force. I chose Kroger because the hours work for me and my family. I am, actually, a seamstress and have catered to the bridal industry for over 15 years. I got burnt out sewing for self-deluded princesses and needed a break.

Don't assume that everyone working entry level at Kroger is stupid. I have goals and aspirations that do not revolve around my position at Kroger.

The world is what it is. We an only strive to make it better. I am just not a bitter person, so I don't spend much of my time complaining about things that are beyond my control.

arrogance is not becoming on any man.

don't assume i'm living in a cave...or that i am ignorant. i know what is going on. i just don't get my information via the television.

once again you are making an insinuation that i am black.  'Sewphisticate' is not 'ebonics'. nor is it an ignorant misspelling of a word.! it is the name of my custom bridal business. it is a pun on the word sophisticate because i sew high end garments.

i am a loving parent. i am also extremely intelligent and i don't need a degree from a university to prove it. i am well read and capable of carrying on a rational, logical discussion. i do not care for political discussions because people get too emotional (myself included) when they disagree.

lets agree to disagree, but you'd better get informed because you are about to enter the worst form of socialism ever which includes handouts for minorities and job preferences for any race accept whites.. this is done on purpose to win votes for politicians!!! obama plans to steal from the rich and give to the poor! poor people cannot supply other poor people with a job! taxes taxes and more taxes all for incentives for the poor impoverished downtroddin and even the lazy!!! forget rewarding those who work hard, now we can all be lower middle class.
660,000 new case of unemployment last monday reported. total is 10 million.. get a television sweety!

dont blame me, I'm not the only one who feels this way.. hey, quit bleeding your heart for everyone and have a cup of joe to wake you up! For once, read and learn--millions of people are not wrong.. read link and good luck in poverty with all the minorities advancing!

dont be a victim of reverse racism.. help all of us remove dirty politicians before its too late!! dont sit on the side lines of life--get in the game! reverse racism just keeps us all, including minorites just above the poverty line..

You can hire 20 people of all races at the same time, but in the end (45 day probationary period)...... the minorities are the only ones that really apprieciate their jobs and did what was needed to stay!!!!
