[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're not talking about "uprooting some poor welfare recipient in the hood". We're talking about offering poor people the same opportunities that middle-class DC residents have already taken advantage of in huge numbers: that is, the right to move to the suburbs if they so wish.

Of course, this terrifies both suburbanites who'd prefer to keep de facto segregation alive, and the poverty pimps who've run the city for so long, who desperately need a large pool of extremely poor, uneducated, hopeless people to vote for them so they can continue to raid the treasury.

Well, this sets the GOP up with yet another perfect Democrat-trashing example to harp on, of how the hard working folks scrape, scramble and bust their butts to get where they are, only to have a chunk of their money taxed away and given to someone who didn't nearly work so hard, didn't scrape, scramble or bust their butt nearly as much - all so that they might be able to enjoy the same amenities as the hard-working, but without all the hard work and sacrifice.  Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" was supposed to be a cynical science fiction story, but apparently some folks want for it to be reality.[/quote]
