Yet, no one in America is starving. And I wonder how many “poor” Americans have big screen TV’s, air conditioning, a bed to sleep in.
Oh, and a smart phone.
Ya beat me to it. We have the most obese (and spoiled) poor people in the world......how does that happen?
My point exactly. Our definition of poverty is the definition of royalty to much of the world.
What a stupid statement. We've had AC and phones since the 1950s, flat screen TV's can be had for 280 bucks. But now all those products are made in Communist China. You think think not dying of starvation, having a foreign made TV and and phone make America great?
How bad is it? We've gone from we're the only super power to, "Hey, at least your not starving".
Poverty in America is a relative thing. When I think of poverty I think of other places in the world where people are dressed in rags and actually do have to worry about whether they'll eat that night or not.
Nothing like that is occurs in the U.S. In America the poorest third of the population is the fattest. And a lot of them have a roof over their heads and those creature comforts you mentioned.
I am one of the poor, I make my bills and have nothing left for the future, I take no handouts. It has been this way since 2007. I just wish my wife wouldn’t have bailed and taken my life savings, but it is what it is..
