That picture does not display poverty. It displays laziness. Just because one is poor, does not mean they have to be dirty...

Yep. Kid is in the sink and she is on her Blackberry. Total nonsense. The poster in the back of the “Indian way” is a nice touch too.

Spot-on! I see at least 4 cast iron pans, none are cheap if bought new. Two big gulp type fast-food cups, bottled water, etc.

Stripping the trim off the doorway and filling the relatively new cupboards with other stuff while leaving the dishes in a pile on the counter is not a sign of poverty, but of priorities. If people wish to live in squalor, they will.

I have been in homes well away from any reservation where the people were dirt-floor poor, but everything was spotlessly clean and and the house was neat.
