Jfc, you assholes are so purposely deceitful. You damn well know the poor pay taxes: excise, property, payroll, and sales taxes.

Again, how do you wring blood out of a stone?[/quote]

Don't give me that poor crap. Close to half the country is not contributing to the revenue base and that's economically unsustainable. Stop pleading poor at every discussion on just how far out of whack the numbers have become.

+ 1 We are now in a spot where half the people are "too poor" to contribute to the federal revenue base and liberals don't see a problem with that? Sorry, but if a poor person can afford to buy a $200 pair of sneakers, he can pay $100 to the government instead and "sacrifice" with a $100 pair. [/quote]

Oh good grief. Where are you seeing all these poor people purchasing $200 sneakers and why are you so obsessed with them? I don’t know any poor people who pay anywhere close to that for sneakers. I do, in fact, see some poor people wearing nice sneakers. Here’s a newsflash for you - some people are generous and caring and help provide nice shoes for the poor and homeless! There are charities dedicated to this. My father and husband have both given homeless men the shoes off their feet. My daughter gave a homeless child her very nice new teddy bear. I could go on and on.

Also, many poor people are really great at shopping garage sales. I sell all the name brand clothing and shoes that my kids have outgrown at my garage sales every year. The clothes and shoes still look brand new. But these folks are buying them for $1! Maybe $4 or $5 for the nicest shoes.

My point is that just because you saw a poor person wearing something expensive doesn’t give you the right to assume they paid more than they could afford for those items.

I'm sure the Sneaker Grinch hasn't actually SEEN any poor people wearing $200 shoes. He just heard about it on some hate-spewing conservative talk radio show. And then parrots out the hate.
