Yep. Sounds pretty easy to me...
have-it-easy
The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:
Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio. Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.
Too easy.
Well we all know that the hildebeast is suffering because she be’s poor.
If all the money spent on Federal, State, and Local poverty programs was pooled and divided it up evenly among the people below the poverty level, they’s all be 1 percenters.
I'll bet her cable bill is paid in full each month.
And it’s all a vote buying scheme?
Democrats keep the poor dependent by design.
They need them to stay locked in the lower segments of society, so that they “need” the handouts to “get by” and the Democrats can count of their vote (plus some “walking around money”) to get them to the polls in November every cycle.
EBT, WIC, Section 8, Medicaid/Obamacare, Obamaphones, fuel assistance, Earned Income Tax Credit...those considered “poor” in this country would be considered “filthy rich” in much of the rest of the world.
And soon the Gibsmedats will be “the rich” in this country while the rest of us in the middle class struggle while working for a living, losing much of it to taxes and trying to feed, clothe and house ourselves with the scraps.
Well, does poor include Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden?
That's why you see so many of them driving around in A BRAND NEW CAR! (A little Price-is-Right lingo there.)
Go to Haiti or Nicaragua to see what poor really is. Or Africa.
All on welfare here should be required to live among the truly poor in one of those places just for a week to see what poor is........
we don’t have “poor”, we have parasites.
our “poor” are wealthier than 95% of the world.
“strident”
Does that equate to “bitter” or “clinger”.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE 14% OF SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVES??
And 99 percent of liberals believe “the poor” are victims of everything but their own bad decisions, that their poverty obligates someone else to provide for them, and that poverty can be eliminated if they just steal enough money from the productive sectors.
the poor have it easy...I think most of them like it the way it is...
the REAL poor that I wish could get a break?...the young working families....they deserve a break...
I actually think it is a miserable way of life. Imagine only having your immediate needs met.
My husband was offered a job once when he was 18, it was only Room and Board and a vehicle and fuel. He laughed in their face.
On long-term government assistance it is just getting by, never getting ahead. Never owning assets. Yeah, you don’t have the headaches of house payments or meeting a payroll but you live the same always...just getting by.
I hesitate to say that we have made it but we are getting there and there have been many times that we’ve been more broke than anyone on welfare but we never gave up. If something failed we learned from our mistakes and went on and it was always an adventure.
Those welfare queens are still right where they were 40 years ago, treading water, going nowhere, getting just enough. But no, I think they have a miserable life, they just don’t know how miserable it is because they get just enough to keep them from fending for themselves.
I've also traveled in the least affluent sections of Boston,NYC,Detroit,Chicago and LA.
I know from personal experience that a huge percentage of Africans and South Americans and a substantial percentage of Asians would sell their souls to live like our "poor".
