You do realize that it is primarily the former group that is poor, unless you believe that the poor own waterfront property?
There are plenty of dirt poor riverside towns and grim coastal villages, you stupid, sheltered, SoCal prick.
Glad you could keep it civil.
Would you contest that the median net worth of someone owning property at sea level is likely to be significantly greater than someone living further inland?
Plenty of millionaires have had their second homes destroyed by Sandy. And you'll be glad to know that FEMA isn't taking their calls. This money isn't going to those who have the means to invest millions in luxury.
But the more important point: The impact of Hurricane Sandy was not limited to Boardwalks and million-dollar mansions built on stilts in the sand. Poor urban areas in Northern New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island were brutalized by the storm. Does this look like an affluent area to you?
And there is major, major damage to necessary infrastructure used by all people, wealthy and poor alike. The mass transit system of the country's largest city was absolutely devastated beyond your comprehension.
Republicans who are blocking Hurricane Sandy relief should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the suffering they're inflicting on others. Especially after they raked in the bucks when it was
their districts under water.
