Willard is king of taking Newt’s quotes out of context. Lets see how he likes it when the shoe is on the other foot.

This made headlines on Yahoo news. We know it'll go "viral" and be used in campaign ads.

I thought we were supposed to worry about what Newt might say. /s

How do you define the middle class? People use that term all the time, but it’s never clear what they mean by that. It isn’t only about the very poor but where the working poor and middle class are also worried they are one disaster away from heading. The comment doesn’t make sense on any level. He supports the safety nets and will fix them, not reform them, but just patch them up a little. The safety nets are not working. They are not helping people transition out of poverty to become productive and prosperous individuals.

My family is poor. I bust my ass daily working 2 jobs to keep us afloat. The county (welfare) would love to lavish us with hand outs. We turn them down.

It sounds to me like your family is rich, mainly because they have you.
