BERRIEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Vice President Dick Cheney (search), asked Friday what he and President Bush would do to help the working poor, said "the best solution for poverty is a job" and contended their tax policies would help small businesses create more of them.

"What most people want is a good-paying job that will allow them to take care of their families," Cheney said during a campaign stop at a restaurant.

The question came from Cyndi Sanders, who lives in Benton Harbor, an impoverished community along Lake Michigan. Benton Harbor was devastated by two nights of rioting last year after a black motorcyclist died during a high-speed police chase. The rioting and public outcry that followed highlighted its struggling economy.

Cheney said he and Bush would help small businesses create jobs by keeping down taxes and offering tax breaks for businesses that would offer their employees catastrophic health insurance.

3. Not when the job doesn't pay a living wage.....................

the cheap labor Republicans would love to bring back the days of slavery.

4. 'Sneer' doesn't have sympathy for those without jobs...

Based on his profile, I have no doubt he would look at a starving community in Africa and say, "Why don't they all just get a job?"

6. Not if the jobs are

Minimum wage jobs. Hey Dumb ass Dick don't you know if your job only pays minimum wage then you would still be in Poverty.

Listening to Bush in last debate this is what I concluded. If I am on minimum wage they will not increase it. Then I would go to community college to get higher 21st centuary job training which I would have to get student loan for. Then I do get a job in 21st centuary which would pay higher then Minimum wage. My job will then get outsourced. So to pay off my student loan I would take a minimum wage job.

So Now I am an educated minimum wage earner with debt. I am sure better off now then 4 more years of these crapy admin and it's neocon plans.

7. NCLB?

YOu mean that this is what they want instead of a fill in the dot test?

"What most people want is a good-paying job that will allow them to take care of their families," Cheney said

9. just as long as we don't have to pay them a living wage

the rest is up to those lazy bums who only work one or two jobs. Get up and cracking! It takes 3 or 4 to pay expenses nowadays! What no jobs. You aren't looking hard enough!I hear they're hiring in Bagdad!

10. And if you can't get a job, get an education!

Go to your community college and take a basket weaving class! Next stop: 6 figures!!

Just goes to show you how out of touch and clueless they are

11. "Let them eat cake"

said his lordship.

[nikatnyte]

12. Of course, he didn't answer the question

which was about how to help the working poor, who presumably, by that definition, already have jobs.

[MichiganVote]

13. Yeah but how many of them do you want us to hold Cheney

to enable you and Halliburton to make and keep your millions?

[Triana]

14. Well DUH!

To hear him and dWeasel talk about it, education is the key and all the unemployed are unemployed because they're just stupid and uneducated no matter how many Phd's they have.

Tricky Dick II finally got a clue? Wow.
