This is a horrible unfortunate loss for this area, but unfair for it to be pinned on these two alone. Legal Aid is a private corporation instead of a government entity. The corporation could have chosen to keep this office open.
Anonymous - I just wanted to clarify that you don't feel a sense of obligation to help other people. Even though every Christian has a duty to share with those less fortunate, (Deuteronomy 14:28-29,Mark 10:21), we are not a Christian nation and you can be as stingy and selfish as you like. I see it as to my benefit, and ultimately everyone's benefit if we, as a society, provide a safety net that reduces poverty, sickness, and ignorance, and eliminates social stratification into classes. Poverty breeds illness and epidemics, crime, social instability, and war. A society divided into social classes degenerates into a stagnant cesspool, ruled by hereditary idiots who get power by virtue of their birth and status. George W. Bush is a prime example.
Like I said, Brushfire, you need reading comprehension classes. I said that the government has no authority to steal my money and give it to someone else.
I would venture a rather large wager that I give more to charities and those in need than you do voluntarily. This would be both as a proportion of my income and in dollar value.
Liberals do not give their money. They steal the money of other people and waste three quarters of it with "expenses".
Of course you would rather dispense charity, because it makes you feel superior and generous, and everyone knows you are a "big man". The simple fact is that all the charity baskets you distribute to the poor don't do one thousandth the good that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid have done. The Brooks report that you cite has several interesting features. It has not been replicated (that I know of), and it includes religious tithing. So if you take away all the money conservatives give to support pedophile priests and horny ministers living in mansions with gold-plated faucets, PTL you get a different picture. It also uses self-reported giving, and everyone knows that "conservatives" love to brag about how charitable they are, (whether they are or not).
And these smug, constipated, uptight jerks claim (with straight faces) to care about the people in the High Country. Like heck they do!
ReplyDeleteRepugs cut the money for the state's drug courts, too. A stupid move that will cost money and destroy young lives.

ReplyDeleteWhy should I have to pay for someone I don't even know's legal representation or his health care?
ReplyDeleteIf you want to so it,fine. Donate money to the cause. Just don;t steal my money to do it.
You fools want to fund both drug courts and lawyers for people selling and using drugs with other people's money. Makes perfect sense.

ReplyDeleteOnly if I choose to be. The government has no authority to require me to keep up anyone other than myself.
ReplyDeleteYou still need reading comprehension classes, Brushfire or Bridle or what ever you wish to call yourself today.

Here are some links to a study that proves conservatives are more generous than liberals, Brushfire.
ReplyDeleteLiberals will steal from others, but do not put their money where their mouth is.
