We make a decent living, but are frugal. I ran into another class mom shopping for school clothes. She is a single mom, doesn't work. She had cash and was buying her son $90 sneakers. I just left payless with my kids. I asked if she had gone to walmart yet to get supplies, and she told me hers were covered by the school. All her kids have cell phones and nintendo DS's. I had to tell my girls we could not buy them a DS for their birthday, because they are too expensive. Just got me a little miffed.

44 Million on Food Stamps, 50.1 Million on Welfare, (And growing daily) and each are given large cash allowances, unlimited food, Medical, vehicle, housing paid for and they even get free wide band Internet. They live better than we do.

And guess who they will vote for? No wonder Obama’s popularity is still way too high this late in the game.

US poverty line is 20x world median income.

If you’re making more - a lot more - than half the people on the planet, you’re not poor.

Perhaps you should attend school with your children so that you can learn how to properly write and spell.
