We were sitting at Murli's house and playing cards, as usual, and someone says that Obama is a socialist and that all he is doing is helping the poor people. In general Indians are a very well off lot and that there was no reason to support socialists policies that help the poor.
That is same bullshit that I hear from the Republicans all the time. I wanted to say something but I kept quiet, because I am a very passionate Democrat. Every time I look at a Republican what I usually see are greedy pigs that only care for themselves.
I think that Republicans have lost the ability for empathy. What I want all my Republican friends to do is to work for a single day in a soup kitchen in Detroit and one day at the salvation army store and interact with the real poor of USA for a single day and then come back and talk to me about the poor.
It is easy to follow the political dogma when you do not know the daily struggle of the poor. It is to say that the poor are the way they are because of they are lazy. I have seen so many of my fellow Indians become Republicans and each time I see you I feel sick to my stomach, because you have forgotten where you come from. Each and every one of you are originally from a small village in India and were poor at one time. Never and I mean never forget where you come from. Never forgot that your family was dirt poor at one time. You job is to help yourself first and then your fellow man.
I think I have said that I expect to die broke and I truly feel that way. I want to help as many people as possible before I die.
It is an over simplified statement that the poor are poor because of bad work ethics. Life is a funny animal, there so many factors that go into making someone successful or not successful. I believe that the difference between rich and poor is not that vast. I think in the Republican utopia there would be no taxes for the rich and all the poor would be working for the rich wanted to pay.
There are a lot of things us Democrats are doing that are not perfect, but almost all our policies are trying to help the majority. While every major policy that is Republican is trying to help the very rich.
The biggest lie told ever is by a Republican when he convinces the poor or middle class that he represents them. I have talked to so many of the poor who utilizes so many benefits that Democrats have fought for, but then those same idiots go and vote Republican, it makes me so upset.
One day the Republicans will win again ruin the country just like Bush did. There is no way for the Republicans and Democrats to every work together again until it is too late and dogma has ruined our chances to fix USA.
