Default Is This America

When speaking of the 1950's many liberals will scoff their little pompous know it all attitude and whail "oh God we don't ever want to go back there"

Is this what they prefer, how long before other American City's turn into this, Do Those Scummy Grinning Pelosi Dogs In Congress Care About This, does this Swaggering Arrogant Lip Smacking President care about this.

Bury The Dead (soon we will be throwing dead bodys in the local river like they do in all the other third world ***** holes)

It must be nice to be you, Harry. All smug and safe, pompous and secure in your own blissful ignorance of what life is like for people other than yourself.

Not one ounce of pity in you, is there? Not one.

Thats exactly what I was showing was PITY, pity for those poor families that can't bury their dead, why is this rotten Government allowing this to go on, we just gave trillions of dollars away in all this stimulus bull*****, we're spending millions on wars we know we can't win and we have DEAD american citizens laying in body bags for years because we can't afford a few thousand dollars to bury them.

DISGUSTING, I TOO MISS AMERICA.

In the 1930s, paupers burials were quite common, but it was probably possible because you could hire gravediggers for perhaps pennies an hour. Now, we have minimum wage laws and other laws governing the burial of people, so it costs more. We need to raise taxes in order to take care of our country. We are a superpower, and we have a very expensive country to run, but unfortunately Republicans not only don't want to spend money, they don't even want to pay the bills. They need some personal responsibility.

True "The Paupers Cemetery" I remember my father talking about them, a plain pine casket and a number for a headstone, I believe they are all across the country.

Has anyone priced the cost of a funeral and burial lately?!?!?!?

I just buried my aunt last month and pre-planned a funeral/burial for my mom this past week.

I'm still in shock.

Apparently this is another "unregulated" industry.

Pauper burials are much, much older than the 1930s...and had nothing to do with wages. Never heard of Potter's Fields? Cheap pauper burials are an ancient practice as old as civilization itself.

What the hell do taxes have to do with unclaimed dead in dying city? You do realize it is in Detroit, a heavily DEMOCRAT city for decades???? How the hell do Republicans factor in here at all when it is a city problem? It has nothing to do with republicans or democrats- it is economic and corruption and mismanagement problems more than anything else.

You want to blame someone, blame the right people instead of ranting like an idiot about the wrong people at fault.

Harry deals in reality and is definitely not pompous.

Perhaps I am in the minority but i told my family ... when I'm dead you're just looking at a shell. Dig a hole and drop me in it ... in a cheap box. Well - they have rules now i think everyone needs to go in the cement box also. In any case ... expensive burials are a waste of money ... drop me in a hole somewhere ... it's just a shell anyways.
