Not as many by a long shot. What you have is more working poor. Men who used to make $20-30 an hour doing construction are now struggling at $10 an hour.
We will always have poor. But America is exceptional, that is what I am told. We should set the example for how our poor are treated...we do not
Plasma claims to be one of the working poor. Yet he has cable, internet, computer, xbox, videogames etc.... None of which is cheap. Seems if he truly is poor he is the one to blame by frivolous spending rather than proper financial planning. So who is representing him wrong? Seems to me he made the decisions to spend rather than save or invest.
Typical Conservative misdirection......you can't be poor if you have toys. Toys contribute little to your standard of living. Rent, electricity, transportation, healthcare cost thousands a month. You are bitching about things that cost $100.
The working poor are finding it harder to afford the basics in life and conservatives bitch about toys
excuse me but that shit cost a helluv a lot more than a hundred bucks.
Cable/internet............120
Xbox.............................300
Each game....................60
Computer.....................800
TV..................................300+
Then what about all the other types of unnecessary products.....
Laptops
Ipods
Iphones
Playstations
Dvd/bluray players
Stereos
Fancy wheels on your cars
My point is all that crap adds up to a large amount of money and how can one claim to be poor and want more help when their poor financial planning is so obvious?
I got to pay for someone to get food stamps so they can afford the latest and greatest game? Fuck that
