Why the poor in the USA are not poor

[Robert W]

Are the poor getting poorer? Well, when you count up all the cash they receive, the benefits they receive, the refunds on income taxes they get, they can have about $64,000 per year and still Democrats call them poor. They are not getting poorer; they are getting richer.

Senator Kennedy explains how it works.

I did some repair work at a apartment complex some years ago. At one of the apartments, I happened to talk to the lady and her daughter that lived there. The daughter(she looked to be around 30) was on welfare for chronic insomnia, and her mom was on welfare because she had to take care of her daughter.

Get a job, you'll sleep.

Can you imagine the Census Bureau says a person makes $9,000 when in fact they make $64,000?
