ONLY POOR PEOPLE WORK
Has this ever happened to you? You’re reading the letters to the editor. Suddenly you come across a letter so vapid you have to pause for a moment to pray that the writer has never registered to vote.
I saw such a letter from one Carolyn Sharp in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning. Ms. Sharp is upset because some of us believe that tax cuts should go to people who actually pay taxes. Here’s the letter:
I am sick and tired of people who say, "If they didn't pay taxes, they shouldn't get a check." Just because some folks are unlucky enough to be poor, the rich folks decide they are not "entitled" to help? What has become of our country?
It is time we put some folks in office who will represent the working people. And just because some folks are less fortunate than others, why begrudge them a little help? I get tired of hearing it called a "handout." While there are some who do take advantage of the situation, many others would much rather be working for a decent wage. Put yourself in the other person's shoes for a while. Then be thankful for what you have, not greedy.
CAROLYN SHARP, Snellville
I’ve highlighted a few words for you. Note, please, that Ms. Sharp believes that those who are rich got that way because they were lucky. If you’re poor it’s because your not lucky. Hard work has nothing to do with it. Education has nothing to do with it. Job skills don’t count, nor does good decision-making. It’s all just based on luck. If you’re poor it’s not because you ignored your education, and it’s not because you make stupid decisions. All you needed was a little luck. Note also that Ms. Sharp promotes that leftist screed that only poor people work. The poor are the “working people.” The rich? They don’t actually work. They just sit back and enjoy their good luck. Then we have the kicker. The “G” word. Greed. If you want to keep more of the money you earn you are greedy.
Ms. Sharp begins here letter with “I am sick and tired of people who ….” Well, Ms. Sharp. I’m sick and tired of whiners who don’t recognize the value of hard work and the right of people who will go the extra mile and do what it takes to become successful in this country to be protected from the plunder of those who won’t. Do us all a favor, Ms. Sharp. Write all the inane letters you want. Just stay away from the polls on election day.
