Does he care about the plight of low income people.


I heard David Cross in his rant regarding Republicans. He thinks of them as racists, homophobic and sexists. I do too. Noticed he didn't mention how uncaring, unfair to low income persons. IE slashing health care, social programs education etc. Requiring photo IDs that are rather difficult for these people to get. Reason won't don't have the documents to obtain photo IDs. My question is this. Does anyone here know if he's concerned about poor people? I am a disability advocate and the vast majority of people with disabilities are low income.

He actually does mention that. On shut Up, You F@#$ing Baby and on Let America Laugh he says something like "It's too early to tell, but George Bush may go down as the worst president of all time. Look at what he's done. I mean, we were so close to finally getting public healthcare, but George Bush had to F@#$ up society and put it back 50 years."

That's good he's into national healthcare. I know on a youtube video he calls minimum wage "Well at least I'm making more than people in 3 world countries." May not be exact quote but its pretty much what he said. I understand he's at least liberal in his politics.Liberals are for equality, fairness, compassion.

the quote i believe is, "the 'at least I don't live in Haiti' wage"

I'm sure he's equally as concerned as most people, which is to be honest, not very much. Speaking as someone who is currently poor and in an absolutely *beep* situation, I don't really care either. I have had to, and will have to again, work my way back up just to get back in my craptastic income bracket that is a third of what people in my field should make.

I would imagine he is, if he bashes republicans so much then he probably dislikes the disparity of the wealth gap.
