Journal bluephone's Journal: Let's Humiliate the Poor!

I don't usually go about slamming other's blogs, but what the hell. This is special.Ben Goodger just happened to say something incredibly stupid.

While I'm ranting, what is it with the poor? Every time I go to a store it seems one of the two checkouts that's open (I like to shop late at night) is being held up by some poor person trying to cash food stamps. If I ran things there'd be a Poor*Mart that only took food stamps and people with such stamps had to buy everything there.

So, it's not humiliating enough that these folks are so fucked in our wonderful economy (thanks George! Keep racking up that deficit too!) that they can't even afford to buy food, but let's ostracize them to special stores too!

Now, I can understand that this is maybe just a rant and he maight not really mean it (I hope), but still, it's just an asinine statement.
