I'll bet her cable bill is paid in full each month.

Illustrating the deep divide between GOP versus Democratic support for policies most benefiting the poor, a new Pew survey finds that a whopping 86 percent of steadfast conservatives think the poor "have it easy." Similarly, business-minded Republicans (77 percent) and young Republican-leaning adults (81 percent) feel the same way.

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.
It seems ironic, that Michelle Obama and others talk about childhood obesity, and food deserts in our inner cities.
Yet anecdotal evidence is that a good number of “poor” people in this country are getting plenty to eat.
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.
Modern agriculture has trivialized the task of eating enough. Now the conundrum that faces us is how to not eat too much.

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.
We see some “hard poverty” out here in the rural area I live in, where some people still have outhouses, no air conditioners, and hunt for food. You don’t hear a lot of them with the same complaints as the inner city poor.
The inner city grab bag of entitlements passes for poverty in the city would probably be as foreign to them as Martians landing in their front yard.
Mighty big television set behind her. I don’t own a tv. Never upgraded and left it in the rubbish pile when my old one died in 2008.
AIN’T MY PROBLEM.
well, compared to working for the same things they get for free, it would appear that way... but what do i know, the only thing the government ever gave me is a property tax bill to pay or an income tax form to fill out AND pay
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.
And don’t forget the gold chains,manicures, and $200.00 per pair sneakers.

Maybe she could pay her water bill next time and buy a smaller TV.
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........
