A shame in New Orleans: Poverty

N"awlins is a city of just under a half million according to
census.gov. Also according to the census, the poverty rate for the
city is 27.9 percent. 27.9%! That is a national shame of the first
degree and no one in government seemed to be concerned about that. And
we all know why. This government seems to have gone out of its way to
make the lives of poor people (in both urban and rural) areas harder
(especially if they're a minority) in order to reward the wealthy and
those in mostly white upper class regions.

Yes, that's class war talk, but who the heck started the war
constantly harping on "welfare fraud" while Kenny boy Lay was
comitting corporate fraud of the sort not much seen since Neil Bush
days at the Silverado Savings and Loan

A quote from the first president Bush: "We will not rest until the
cheats and the chiselers and the charlatans spend a large chunk of
their lives behind the bars of a federal prison" And no, Neil didn't
go to prison.
