1. I'll put this up again, it was reformed in 1996
Ok I think you misunderstood me.,
I didn't say it hadn't been changed and we called that "reform". I said it needed reform. As in the change they did didn't work (at least from the left's POV). In part because Clinton and the Dems were trying to triangulate the GOP and so much of this ended up stealing conservative ideas.
3. Also what Alexandra Pelosi did was a hasty made video just to appease the right wing due to blowback she got from the Mississippi video (Shit, at least the people in the Mississippi video, one could feel pity for them).....
My understanding is that it was always the plan to show both of these side by side. Yes, maybe I misremember but I could have sworn that maher they would be showing poor people in blue states when they originally aired the mississippi video.
Not that I agree with maher or pelosi that if you "piss off both sides" you must be doing something right. That's a logical fallacy.
But again I think you misunderstood me. I see people like those in BOTH videos.
I see stalwart republicans who say vote God, Gays and Guns and rant about the evil socialist system while sitting comfortably in their hover rounds provided by medicare dollars.
And I see people who game the system, who think others should support them and lie to get it rather then work
Hell, some of them are the same people.
Hasty response or not, this does not seem invalid with my own experiences.
