Instead, they redirect the popular anger at an unpopular group--the poor--through a series of ideologies and institutions that perpetuate the cultural belief that poor people are in their social position due to a moral deficiency, that they have a worse work ethic than "us", and that they don't deserve or even desire better opportunities and commodities.

I stayed at a house full of white trash last night. There are A LOT of people that do absolutly nothing to try to get back on their feet. I have seen how bad a family can get when they're given things like welfare. I've seen time and time again families just like that blow opportunity after opportunity. This part isn't an arguement or speculation, this is a straight-up, no-bullshit, 100% first hand observation.
That is why I'd rather put that money into a public health care system. Not only does it take care of a critical need of families in need, it also fills the need of everyone.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
