You see a piece of metal on the ground that you saw the welder had his blowtorch pointed towards. You go to pick it up, and it burns your hand because it is incredibly hot. Poor choice, and very stupid.

You're claiming to be the welder. The person who knows what's best for someone else. What's in their best interest. That because they are poor they can't possibly be educated enough to make decisions for themselves.
I get what you and others are saying. I just think it's condescending to those people and I understand why they'd align on the other side.
