You should be villifying Norway for the immigration policy that they were employing for decades. It's basically the form of immigration that Trump is asking for. No poor brown folks was the rule of thumb until somewhat recently. Turns out, if you keep out all the poors, you have a bunch of extra money for your own citizens.
...and then there is California...highest poverty rate in the nation. But failure will never change the mind of a leftist.
I don't understand how this can be true. With all those wealthy multi millionaire celebrities, how can there be so much poverty. If only the government would provide some way for the Celebrities to get their money into the hands of poor people. Alas, since the government refuses to do this, those amazing people are forced to just buy a bunch of houses and cars and send their kids to private schools and build big gated communities to keep away the poors that might wander to far from their hovels, instead.
It's a tangent, but there's definitely a hypocrisy issue on the left. Listening to Anderson Cooper go on about Haiti. I heard he's sleeping in the smallest bedroom in his smallest vacation home out of solidarity. Or Colbert complaining about CEO pay, when he makes 5 million a year, and some of the crew is likely making low 5 digits.
One thing I always agreed with Jesus on is his rich guy and the eye of a needle bit. Excessive wealth is immoral by almost all standards of morality.
