You equate someone's desire for less intrusive government as wanting to see poor people, i.e. blacks, suffer. This is comical. You do realize that by raw numbers there are more white people below the poverty line than blacks, right?

So if you are going to accuse me of hating someone: get it right! I hate poor people, and wish to see them suffer. It has nothing to do with race. I happen to LOVE rich black people.

In all seriousness, though, if the first programs to suffer are social assistance programs then in most cases I happen to disagreee with those cuts as the cuts can usually come from somewhere else. It nonetheless still makes me want less government intrusion, and it is not my fault if a politician makes those cuts in the wrong place, and it in no way makes me a racist.

Just out of curiosity, are you for or against businesses who get bailout money having to limit bonuses and adhere to more stringent regulation? I have a feeling you are, as am I. But I am also for having people who receive government assistance in the form of money and food stamps having to take drug tests and be subject to frequent visits by social workers to make sure they are not drunks ..... I have a feeling you are not.
