I was speaking figuratively not literally. Obviously a swamp person in Bangladesh did not speculate in our housing market either. Why not try to learn about conservatism so you at least know what it is. Every read a book about it??

I was probably a conservative before you were out of diapers. At one one time conservatism had values. It looks like it has now sold it's soul. Hey, have you looked at those old Ronald Reagan speeches yet?

Hey, have you looked at those old Ronald Reagan speeches yet?

Jefferson founded the Republican Party in 1791. Reagan and the Tea Party hold identical views about limiting liberal government. Every read a book??

Actually Reagan and the Tea Party are very differnet., but it doesn't surprise me that you would lump them together. It may require a bit of work to find the differences.

there are differences between Jefferson Reagan and Tea Party but far more importantly they are all for freedom from liberal government while libturds oppose the basic idea of America.

there are no significant differences as long as they all vote Republican. See why we are positive a liberal will be slow??

I can't believe no one responded to this post, so I will, albeit a bit late. First are you assuming that everyone below the poverty line has always been below the poverty line? Because it seems that you are trying to use that as a point. When in fact many people since the recession has started have lost their jobs and been pushed below the poverty line, this is an easy reason why they would have assets. I will also point out a few other stupidities in your post, the bold is mine

This country has the richest poor in the world. they have wide screen TVs, Xboxes, computers, cell phones, and cars.

Exactly, here's the whole list thanks to Robert Rector:


The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau, taken from a variety of government reports:

46 percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.

80 percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.

Only six percent of poor households are overcrowded; two thirds have more than two rooms per person.

The typical poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)

Nearly three quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.

97 percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
haha a color televsion? seriously? people throw away normal color television or give them away. I doubt you could give a 18" tube TV away these days as they have about $0 in value
78 percent have a VCR or DVD player.
VCR?! seriously that shouldn't be counted in anything, if you own a VCR its because you are old and refuse to get with the times, or you really are truly poor, they don't even make VHS anymore.
62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.

89 percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.
You can buy a used microwave at a yard sale for $5, a POS stereo for $10, and did you just say that 2/3 of them don't have a dishwasher? That truly does seem poor to me, as pretty much every apartment you can rent comes with one inside.
As a group, America’s poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100-percent above recommended levels. Most poor children today are, in fact, super-nourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and ten pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.

While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience temporary food shortages. But, even this condition is relatively rare; 89 percent of the poor report their families have “enough” food to eat, while only two percent say they “often” do not have enough to eat.

Overall, the typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR, or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry, and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs. While this individual’s life is not opulent, it is far from the popular images of dire poverty conveyed by the press, liberal activists, and politicians.

Of course, the living conditions of the average poor American should not be taken as representing all of the nation’s poor: There is a wide range of living conditions among the poor. A third of “poor” households have both cell and land-line telephones. A third also telephone answering machines.****, these things still exist?! At the other extreme, approximately one-tenth of families in poverty have no phone at all. Similarly, while the majority of poor households do not experience significant material problems, roughly a third do experience at least one problem such as overcrowding, temporary hunger, or difficulty getting medical care.[
Much official poverty that does exist in the United States can be reduced, particularly among children. There are two main reasons that American children are poor: Their parents don’t work much, and their fathers are absent from the home
