While getting advantages only a percent of a percent of a percent of the population gets.

Now I'm not saying he or Ford aren't hard working. It does appear they are. Just that they have no idea what it's like to be at the bottom, and that they have no idea that a person can work just as hard, often even harder, and still not what they have. In fact, still be in need of help.

It's hypocrisy at it's worst. Entitled people pointing the finger calling those on the bottom rung entitled.

Ford has come out against drug rehabilitation programs, against helping those in need, even if they are trying to get help. He's also taken a stance that is hard, even unforgiving on crime. And now, he's right in the middle of it.

Though the word gets overused both in life and on this forum, what is happening to him is very karmic. My only hope is it shows him the error of his ways, and he learns to accept people with problems. Until he does this, let life hit him with everything that it can, he truly deserves it.

See, I would disagree on this point. I think the worst kind of hypocrisy is champagne socialism.
