Fortunately for those very few at the very top (none of which are posting here on GFY) that propaganda, and divisive brainwashing, has proved very useful.

Divide and conquer.
You are dramatizing it. No one says that. It's said or implied that a percentage of the poor are lazy. I'll say that officially. A percentage of the poor are misguided. A tattoo is more important than a roof over their head. A bottle of cheap wine is more important than dinner.
Having a pistol is more important than taking a tech school course.

And a percentage of the poor are simply victims, that through nothing they did or could control put themselves into a bad situation. Those are the people who deserve some help. And they are getting it. It's that other group that doesn't take advantage of that help.
