Shadow considers the countries poor to be 'animals'.  

IMO, most of America's unemployed are looking for a job and to get on with their life.


we are...
we are poor of land ownership
we are poor of heirloom seeds
we are poor of water access
we are poor of food
etc etc

working for 'the man' to live under 'the man' .....adding more chain to the collar of course....straw for the bricks
to make for the good of the collective....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

All humans are animals.  Your buddy Darwin said so.  We’re supposedly descendents of apes.  

Animals in captivity do not easily adjust being released into the wild, many die.  They no longer have the skills needed to hunt or forage for food because it was always provided.

I'm sure you have some buddies at PETA that can explain the effect on animals kept in captivity.

And if the SF minimum wage were lower, their income inequity would be even worse!


I suggest not using SF as an example city when advocating for income equality.  Statistics show, they are one of the worst cities in the country for income inequality.  And that's the result of DECADES of liberal policies.  

SF is the liberal Mecca...You don't want people realizing that liberal policies created by liberal democrats actually exacerbate the very conditions they claim to be fixing.

So Cicero is joining Shadow's view that the Poor in America are no more than "caged animals."  


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Caged animals are dependent on their owners, difference is we have the right not to be dependent on masters, yet some choose to live that way.

Is this Henry joining Cicero and Shadow in their view of America's poor as "CAGED ANIMALS"?

I didn't say "poor in American".  You added that yourself.  Shadow didn't say "Poor in America" either.  I don't know where you got that from?

The Gini scale:
0 = Everyone has the exact same wealth
1 = One person has all the wealth.

According to Cissy's GINI Scale,  the difference between the wealthiest state and the poorest is .080.

The Janitor vs The Millionaire:



Yes, those big liberal cities are the WORST when it comes to paying a "fair wage".  As you pointed out, even at a $10 per hour minimum wage, San Francisco has the most inequality, with the few rich white liberals having the majority of the money, and the poor minority community.

Is that what I 'pointed out'???
I must have missed that part!
