The yellow fringe meets the right fringe

Just got off the phone with a business acquaintance, a foaming at the mouth tea bagger.  He told me of his latest brain storm about what was wrong with America and the restorative needed.
New voting laws, oh yea, only people who own property and pay income tax can vote.  Sorry Sarge, and Scratch, you hit only one of the two, that apartment ain't gonna cut it as owning property with this bunch.   He kept talking about "those people" and the "them".  ""Those people" go for politicians that give them health care, so we get governments that pay attention to the poor."  I love to hear where he's going but I butted in and said "that's not true in Kansas, people who cater to the underdog have not won elections the GOP dominates in Topeka, and almost every county and city government in the state, we are giving tax breaks to corporations like mad and we cut school lunches for poor kids, home nursing for the handicapped and elderly, legal aid, medicade, police and fire departments, reduced the number of places to vote in "those people's" neighborhoods."  He started laughing, "yea we are making progress in Kansas, but these voting ideas have to be considered".  I encouraged him to work on it full time.

We want to move when we retire if things stay like this.  I hate this fucking place.

I need to ask him some time if things got bad, if he had no money and his grandkids were starving would he steal to feed them?  Would it be moral to let them die?  Would it be acceptable to steal or rob to keep them alive?
