>>The average poor household in the U.S. isn’t living the high life.<<
Bull.
I have to pay for my own healthcare, they don’t.
I had to pay for both my kid’s braces, they don’t.
I have to pay for two MetroPCS phones, they get Obamaphones.
I don’t have cable (can’t afford it), they do.
I’m eating hot dogs and shopping at Aldi’s when they are in Walmart buying Chicken Voila.
Etc, etc, etc....
They are living as high on the hog as I am and I’m paying for both of us.
*spit*
Don’t you think it’s an outrage in a country as rich as ours that a full 20% of the population is in the bottom quintile of income?
