Americans in 'Poverty' Have TVs, VCRs, Cell Phones, Air Conditioning

Just ain't the same no more!!!

While this comes from Breitbart and CNSNews, it is still a U.S. Government Census report!

American poverty just ain’t what it used to be. A new report from the Census Bureau found that 80.9% of households considered poverty stricken have cell phones along with their landline phones, and 58.2% have computers. 96.1% of those in “poverty” have televisions, and 83% have some sort of DVR.
The percentage owning refrigerators? 97.8%
Gas or electric stoves? 96.6%.
Microwaves? 93.2%
Air conditioning? Over 83%.
Washer? 68.7%
Dryer? 65.3%
People still don’t mind washing dishes, apparently; only 44.9% surveyed had a dishwasher.

Oh yeah – and they also draw welfare, food stamps, government housing, WIC and all sorts of other goodies. With so much taxpayer money coming in, why work?

That's about the size of it.

And they are often quite obese.

In the rest of the world, poor people are skinny and starving. In America, they are fat and sated with junk food.

Further proof that the War on Poverty has been a success!
