This is very true. What other part of the world do "poor" people have cars, tvs, most times more than one and many times "rented" big screen tv's. Just ask a cop about that, how many times they see those tv's in the home of "poor" they end up in on a domestic. How many poor in other countries have free healthcare? Have food given their kids in schools, including breakfast. How many "poor" in other countries live in subsidized apartments built brand new with all the latest appliances brandy new too?
Oh there are real poor in this country, those who don't believe in handouts. But they are by far the minority.
poor is not making enough to save for retirement.
not having healtcare.
raising a family on $15 hr
not being able to own a home.
if you were scrimping and saving in the 90's to have a good life, now you are falling behind.
the economy only works when we are buying things. you can't have it both ways.
and this isn't most other countries. this is America.
and we don't begrudge anyone that is "the least bit successful". we begrudge the top 1 percnt getting an unfair tax break. especiallyduring war.
funny you begrudge poor ppl for not balancing their budgets yet bush grew they debt.
you are not getting ahead if you weigh everything out. and if you are, you aren't middle class. I you are, the economy needs you to start spending money.
funny bush promoted home ownership and look at what happened. why do you hate the middle lass?
you are mddle class.
its too much to explain when I know you won't get it.
stop swallowing that we hate rich ppl when it is they who look down on us.
they forgot how they got rich.
they say gov. made it difficult for them to get rich and then made it harder to get rich. and you bought
it?
no middle class person will start a business and take a chance because they changed the bankruptsy laws to make it too risky. then they made it easier for the rich to do it.
you guys really don't know allthe reasons why you are wrong and I don't think you ever will.
I hate you, because without you, the rich couldn't get away with it.
They will become nobles and kings if you continue to let them.
And stop crying about illegals ruining america and then defend foreign companies buying up america on the cheap.
war, doubling debt, cheap dollar, gas prices, etc.
it was hard to argue with conservatives in the 90's but not today.
