It might be interesting to organize a huge voter registration of this population just to watch him wince.

It isnt essential. We always need an underclass.
While economists have debated this point for decades, assuming you are correct, then you also believe the "underclass" should be permitted to starve and go without basic human essentials, when we reportedly live in the most affluent country in the world.
Why have government mandated "help"? Shouldnt it be a personal choice instead of the government redistributing my income without my permission under threat of imprisonment?
Yes, I suppose the IRS would tend to frown upon this. Unfortunately for you it is the way our government is set to operate.
Since you have no problem giving away my money, how about you send me a few extra bucks every month so you can feel like youve helped more?
This conversation deteriorated rather quickly, didn't it?

Having visited both North and South Carolina in the past, and finding them extrodinarily beautiful, and the people well rounded and honest, I'm perplexed that a call for cruelty of this magnitude would be tolerated.

In the eyes of the most credible sources, planet Earth can sustain a half-billion humans without any sizable destruction of our habitat, or any loss in species or stability of our ecosystem. Any numbers higher than that, no matter how much they recycle, will cause environmental chaos. The modern leftist-tinged environmental movement is terrified of telling anyone that they cannot breed and keep buying whatever strikes their fancy, but someone must do this in the future. The sooner we do it, the fewer people in the future will be left without a means of sustenance and thus require termination. In the words pf Pentti Linkola, "We still have a chance to be cruel. But if we are not cruel today, all is lost."

I am assuming, of course, that you differentiate between those who can't help themselves and those who simply won't.
