Gingrich: Poor kids don't work, only get cash illegally



Listening to Mr. Gingrich makes me sad.  Don't you love whenever "rich-people" give ridiculous advice to the poor and make it seem like if only the "poor" would get off their lazy asses, they could earn wealth tomorrow?  Oooh, if life were that simple......

Fact of the matter is there seems to be some covert-systematic methodology to maintaining the status-quo, whereby rich people get richer, and poor people must kill each other for scraps.  Or, is it just me? Not to preach to the crowd, but why are corporations reporting record earnings, while unemployment lingers between 9-10%?  Is that the President's fault?  I don't think so.... He can't hire people to work for Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, CitiBank, or any other wealthy corporation. 

Mr. Gingrich seems to be very opinionated when it comes to putting 9 and 10 year old children to work, as janitors (and for a public entity)...  I think he forgot that school janitors are paid by tax payer dollars, and the last time I checked, the republicans were working steadfast to decrease the budgets for education....  Remember?  Remember how they labeled the Department of Education as discretionary spending? So, where is this extra funding for children's salaries going to come from, Mr. Gingrich?  I guess it's ok to pay that poor kid to clean a toilet at school, but not ok for his/her school to have the latest technology or something that exponentiates is education?! 

Let's get real, in America.  Or, is it too late?  If this country were to meet a fate similar to the Great Roman Empire, it won't be as a result of outside, perceived-terrorism....  It will be through a steady rot from the inside-out.
