"Now why would a bunch of non 'poor folk' minorities . . ."

Okay you identify with the "non-poor" group, you talk about your job in the telcom industry, you talk about "prosperity" for big corporations and then take offense when someone responds based on that?

What's more, for the second time, you disrespect me as a person of color (claiming I practically called you "uppity" when you know what that means AFTER you already pulled that "are you saying all black people are poor" sh** just for standing up those of us who aren't).

In both instances what you didn't do is tell us how those who are in the "poor" group of people who look like us benefit from the policies of the "pro-prosperity" branch of our party OTHER THAN what I've repeatedly conceded is the substantial benefit of having a Democrat in the Senate instead of a Republican.

So tell me, last week I met with a chronic who was fighting to feed her kids after her husband got 7 years (85% fed sentence) even after an 11(c)(1)(c), what does support for Big Pharma-which yes is great for some-do for her?
