Reject my notion?????? Idiot it isnt a notion it is a reality....Hell right now there are millions working hard and not making ends meet.....There are millions working hard and going hungry...There are thousands working hard and sleeping on the street... These my naive ignorant friend are the realities of the working poor. Just cause you have a job doesn't mean you are not poor....It just means you have it slightly worse then those without jobs cause you most likely don't qualify for government assistance."Working Poor" is an oxymoronic term.
You're either working, which mean's you're making some kinda profit and thus have money to spend or you're poor, which means you have no income whatsoever.
Can't be both. It's another media buzz word.
The only moron here seems to be you junior.....You can work and be poor....I hope you never live that way but I have.
I reject that notion completely. I have also lived that way and even at my lowest point, I still had a job and could pay my rent and bills. I just didn't have much money left over after that. That's not poor. That's just struggling.
Poor is trying to pay that same stuff with little to no income. Trying and failing, that is.
If you're working, you're nowhere near as poor as you could be. You may be close to it, as we all are, but you're not there. Other people are and to coin a term like "Working poor" shows disrespect for those who are poor not because they won't or don't work, but because they CAN'T work. So again, there's the working and there's the poor, I don't see an in-between there.
