I am fascinated by the fact that people get so angry - at least in the Western PA small town I live in - about people who are on assistance. They feel as though they shouldn't have to be paying for their food, housing, etc. But there is precious little I have been able to say, to get their dander up about the money we all have spent on, say, Wall Street. Nor do they seem to understand how even they are on the govt dole so to speak if they own a home etc. What is going on here?
