Kokoomuslaisia näkemyksiä köyhistä #Kokoomus #Köyhät #Politiikka
Kokoomuslaisia näkemyksiä köyhistä:

Henri Heikkinen:
”Suurin osa suomalaisista köyhistä kaipaisi suoraan sanottuna vain 
’ympäri korvia’.” 

Saul Schubak:
”On järjenvastaista että tuemme heikoimman aineksen lisääntymistä.” 

Piia-Noora Kauppi:
”Yhteiskunnan kuuluu turvata minimi, mutta ei sellaista elämää, jossa 
viihtyy ja nauttii ja pystyy puhumaan kännykkään ja käymään elokuvissa.”

Laura Räty: 
”Kuinka moni suomalainen löytää itsensä ryhmästä, joka tienaa alle 
2 100 euroa tai 2 600 euroa?"

Otto Meri:
”Ilmainen neuvo kaikille perinnän aiheuttamien vaikeuksien kanssa 
painiville: laskut kannattaa maksaa ajoissa. Ei se sen kummempaa ole.”

Susanna Koski:
”Kaikilla meillä on kuule rajoitteita.”

Sari Sarkomaa: 
”Parilla kympillä yksinäinen ihminen hankkii vaikka monen viikon ruuat.”

A picture of Elon Musk, via the London Economic. The quote says “If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.“ – Nathalie Robin Justice.
