The stupidity of the working poor

I was watching a documentary called “Forgotten Americans” about coal miners and there's segments were these workers- who do 10+ hour jobs, six days a week- praise Donald Trump for being a “guy you can have a beer with, he gets folks like us.” But that wasn't the worst part. “We don't believe in hand outs, we believe a strong hand and a strong back, and Trump is a hard worker.” These people never had a chance in west Virginia; education is severely under funded and they've been tricked into believing any assistance from the government, that come from their own taxes, is wrong and a silly fantasy
