Are minorities and the poor victims of political games played by both major political parties?

Answer 1

Everybody, not involved with politics are victims of political games.

Answer 2

The poor pay the most taxes yet do you know any poor people in congress. No I don't think so. The poor including myself are constantly victims of politicians, because there is no one to keep them in check any longer. Do you think our legal system protects the rights of the poor I think not. Everyone around the world has the impression that this is a rich country, because of what they see on T.V. They do not see how much the poor has to pay in taxes to support the government. They do not see the number of people out of work or have to work two jobs or more to support their family. Is that rich? No. We hide our poor better than most countries because the politicians would rather not deal with them. When the rich are done bleeding the poor and realize no one has any resources left to cover their over zealous spending habits will them change their thinking? No I think not. The poor will always be lower to them. Black, White, Mexican whatever does not matter if your poor you are less than dirt in the eyes of a politician, but all that matters to them is how much they can lie to you to get your vote. So weather your working to make ends meet or can not find a job because they have all been out-soured to other countries forget it your poor and your just a pawn to a politician.

Answer 3

well... for the most part... when you're talking about the minorities on average, they are poor.... but there are MANY, MANY poor whites too...

but I'm not so sure they are victims of political games... as much victims of the same, tired system that's been in place since the beginning of mankind... the bossman and the workers...

it's better now, granted, than it was in the past... but it's still the same... the boss maximizes his profit by doing as little as he can for the workers... and the workers, sometimes unionize if it gets to be too much...

the major political parties' leaders are usually wealthy sons of the "bossman"... so status quo is usually kept...

every now and then it changes a little... but, little overall...

and to be fair, the workers have screwed up pretty badly when some have attempted to hand the power over to them...

Answer 4

I would have to say yes to an extent. The general public is played by both political parties. Like the poor and minorities in general...the public as a whole doesn't take the time to be informed about voting records of those in office. So of course, they vote for whom they are told to vote for. They don't make decisions based on facts. They make them based on emotional propaganda pushed by all in both political aisles.

But it amazes me that minorities tend to vote democratic no matter what. What has a democrat in the last few decades done for any minority community except promote welfare, push dependence, and create schools that aren't productive or accountable. They vote for those whom hurt them the most. It's insane.

Answer 5

No. The minorities and the poor are not victims. They are people who, for whatever reason (birth or circumstance) are not caucasian and/or wealthy.

Both parties have what they think are legitimate means of addressing these circumstances. They just happen to both be missing the fact of the individual's responsibility in the whole formula.

I wouldn't be so sure that the games aren't played by the minorities and the poor, btw, and I wouldn't be so sure that we aren't ALL the victims of the games.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Yes, just not in the United States of America!

Answer 9

No, they are victims of their own circumstances and tribe. The government gives minorities and the poor numerous opportunities to get out of their circumstances. And a lot do.

Those that don't are fools.

BTW

I have had the opportunity many times over the course of my life to work side by side with those who chose to take the hard way out and I am proud to call them friends, teammates and colleague's.
