Evidently you don't talk to poor people who use that phrase to describe the poverty pimp liberals who run shitty government programs which continue the misery of the poor. Like the poverty pimp liberals who steal food donated to the poor or the assholes who yell at poor folks who won't follow the silly rules of the food pantry. Are you saying that the poor folks who talk about liberal do-gooders using this language have something in common with Charles Murray and the Heritage Foundation?
OK, so we all know that liberals are pretty clueless about the fact that poor people hate their reformist programs. They go on and on via Air America about how liberals are so wonderful because they "care for people." Well shit, I care about people too and I want to end capitalism and the state so we don't have any more poor or rich. It's one thing to fight for these measly programs because the Republicans have decimated the social safety net, quite another thing to see these program as some kind of solution!
