Just remember next time the Dems are crying about how many people live "in poverty".

[xrp]

Why isn't there a marker on how much beer and cigarettes they buy?

Those are some amazing statistics. Bookmarked for ammo against my lib'ral acquaintances.

Our "poor" have more access to air conditioning than France's middle class.

Absolutely. I lived in South America (Argentina, a relatively "wealthy" S.A. country) for two years. I saw poverty. I went into small, crowded, dirty homes of the truly poor.

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, I would say to the U.S. "poor": I know poor. I worked with the poor. I have seen poor. You, Mr. 3-bedroom, two-car, air-conditioning American, are NOT poor.

America is so great that even our Poor are better off than the middle classes of the rest of the world (e.g. own 2 or more cars per household).

I do heating and air conditioning in residential housing and I can tell you that the so called "poor"(government hand out leeches) are not doing so bad. However the working poor are a different story. It seems pride seperates the two more then anything

Beer, smokes, lotto, ahhh the staff of life!!!

Big ol' BUMPEROO!

How do they get this info? Insurance companies? There was no data about content coverage though. There is no way I would tell someone what I have in my home. I noticed they also didn't ask about guns either. If someone wants to know how many tvs I have then I think they also need to know I'm armed :')

The statistics on 'hungry children' in America include any child who missed ONE meal in the PREVIOUS 30 DAYS.
