Mr. Magoo Lookalike Says He Knows What’s Wrong With America: Poor People
If you’re poor, then, according to America’s elite, you’re the problem. The problem isn’t that wages have been stagnant for three decades as money has been 
hoarded by those at the top. And the problem certainly isn’t that rich people take advantage of tax loopholes to escape paying their fair share of income taxes. Nope. So what is the real problem in America, you ask? Two words: Poor people.
Former Senator and Mr. Magoo look-alike Phil Gramm, best known for calling Americans a “nation of whiners” during the run up to the 2008 election, tells us the problem with America:
During the past four years, the Obama administration’s aggressive promotion of the food-stamp program has increased the number of recipients by 18.5 million. Do these people feel the same level of discontent about economic conditions as the rest of the voting population?
In a nutshell, Gramm is saying that poor people don’t feel the pain of this recession because they’re insulated in a food stamp bubble. Poor people can’t see that America’s headed downhill because of all those food stamps President Obama keeps passing out like candy!
It’s hard to know whether to feel sorry for Gramm and his mediocre intellect or get mad. The people who have been hit hardest by this Great Recession, which was engineered by Wall Street, aren’t the people at the top. They got bailed out. It’s the people who were forced to go on food stamps because they were made unemployed or underemployed who are having the hardest time.
But Gramm has become so accustomed to fighting on behalf of the top one percent, that’s all he knows. At least Gramm knows where his next check is coming from.

BUSH & CHENEY are the ones who helped wipe out millions of jobs…and ROMNEY was involved in shipping them to China.ROMNEY and his vulture capital buddies got filthy rich off the Economic Crisis and the auto bail-out. This may explain why he hides his tax records.
WATCH THIS VIDEO… but beware….you might get angry-

And now he wants to CUT THE FUNDS for school kids lunches, for Pell Grants,
for food stamps, for Planned Parenthood, etc.
MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT AND VOTE !!!
He is crazy. How are you going to have rich people if you don’t have a lot of poor people? That is self defeating logic. That is why they love to have a bunch of peon immigrants in the country.
The TEA-PUBLICANS have helped create a lot of poor folks. They have done a little of NOTHING to boost jobs…to fund education & training programs…or anything like that. Remember JIM JONES… he offered poison kool-aid. But ROMNEY HOOD is offering MILK OF ROMNESIA…and he will wreck this nation if he gets in the WH.
And the beats goes on…It’s so sad when you have someone who has a lot of money, living on a pension that was paid for by tax payer’s dollars. As long as you’re in politics, you’ll have money coming in; not so for the working people. The poorest of the poor doesn’t have anything to worry about in becoming poor because they are already there. It’s obvious that the former senator is out of touch. He capitalized off the, so called middle class, which is a myth because they are barely make it themselves. Screw people like him!
Until the poor & middle class ban together to put a term limit on elected officials, we will continue to have to put up with old farts like Gramm running off at the mouth. Their time has come & gone and they do not like change but change is here, and they d**n well better get used to it. The president can only do 2 terms, so should everyone else! Fresh new blood is what will keep the country going. If Romney and the rest of the rich loved this country like they proclaim, they would pay the taxes they are supposed to pay to help keep the country strong. They don’t give a d**n about anyone but themselves but a change is coming!
I agree with Ms. Miller Bush and Cheney took all the surplus that President Bill Clinton left and used It on the wars that he started. they are always running their mouth and do nothing about the problem that’s those Republicans for you they need to get somewhere and sit down.Like the POTUS said I Romnesia.
This Cracker is Blind like Mr Magoo too gone & Die and Leave your Money to the Poor!
When these racist yankees say the word ‘poor’, he’s talking about BLACK PEOPLE! If you listen to O’Drama, his wife, willard, ryan or biden, they NEVER say the word POOR!!!
These crazy crackers use code words to degrade and demean Black amerikkkans; therefore in other words this cartoon looking character is saying:
Mr. Magoo Lookalike Says He Knows What’s Wrong With America: BLACK People
People are doing a lot of talking. Put your mouththy word on paper. VOTE. Don’t worry we have Romny on our side. Rich people will never understand how it feels to be out of work, live on food stamps or un employment or retirement. They will never know how hard it is when your rent goes up, food, taxes, carfare, clothing and gas. But your salary or welfare check, or your check stops and you have to go face to face. They will celebrate Christmas with all the trimmings, Will you? SCRUGE will wish you a merry Christmas and not throw you a bone that his dog refused. So all you Republicans. Come, join us for Christmas on the pantry lines.
