What about Michael Moore? He's 500 pounds. He's not poor
Rich people made him fat. If the rich paid their fair share, and gave the poor even MORE, then the poor would be thin. It is such a burden that the poor only has last year's xbox and not this year's playstation.
The poor are very creative at being poor. I have a step granddaughter like that. She's poor, single mother on welfare, never married, five children, no father for any of them in the picture. She has HUD housing, a 3 bedroom two bath apartment. Her utilities are subsidized. She had two free obamaphones and a life line landline for $5.00 a month. She gets EBT, WIC, in addition to her benefits. The children eat all meals at school. She also had two pantries that she goes to. That's not all. She has a son coached and taught to pretend to be autistic. She gets SSI for him. She has a daughter that was hit by a car and her leg was crushed (Mom was high on pot not paying attention). By letting the leg heal without medical care, the girl has a limp. Yayyy, That's more SSI!. That's NOT all. She has a friend with four kids. The state pays my step granddaughter for providing day care to these four kids so mom can work. The work that mom does, is provide day care for my step granddaughter's 5 kids so she can work at being a day care provider.
All total, this "poor" woman brings in more than $5,000 a month. That's poor to a woman that claims in her entire life she has never gotten a tax cut. She's never paid taxes on her benefits, but she's never gotten a tax cut because the rich are cheating her.
