One more time, the poverty statistics are bogus. It does not include what the leeches get in non-cash benefits, such as food stamps, free meals at school for the kiddies, Medicaid, free housing, free cell phones, government cheese, and on and on. Someone can be getting all these taxpayer supplied goodies, have some cash income, and will still be included as someone who is living in “poverty”.

Look at what poor people have in the US - cars, big screen TVs, cable TV, most own their own homes, etc. This is not poverty. Living on a garbage dump in a third world country is poverty. The libs have cleverly skewed the numbers to make the sheeple think that there are a whole bunch of naked, starving kids in the US, and it is not true (unless mom is a drug addict, perhaps).

Uh, I’m a little confused here, Buckwheat.

You got a problem with me? It wasn’t me who pee’d in your wheaties, Pal.

I’m not disagreeing with you, rather I’m in complete agreement with you. Soooo...why you be so mad at me and busting my chops? Herculeeze!
