RE: At least they have Dish Network in that first pic.

The following chart from The Heritage Foundation shows that even poor Americans – those who fall below the official income poverty line – usually have a DVD player, video gaming system, multiple televisions, a computer, washer and dryer, cable TV, dedicated internet, a cell phone, and in a very limited amount of cases, even a jacuzzi.

The figures were taken in a government consumption survey near the height of the financial and economic bubble in 2005.

With “poor” people enjoying the benefits of what would traditionally be considered middle class is it any wonder, then, that the entire debt based system of this country is in collapse?

America, it seems, has the richest poor people in the world.

I counted 5, not the norm. Usually just one, and all units tie into that one for free.

I noticed those beautiful doors, love to have them.

To the suburbs now, got to find a new home/neighborhood to infest. You don't mind do you?/s.

Well, to be fair, they have to do something for entertainment; and they don't dare leave their homes after dark if they have any common sense.

I noticed that, too.

People can’t afford to maintain a home or pay their mortgages, but they can afford satellite tv.

That says everything I need to know about urban dwellers.
