To say that the country club Republicans that don't have any "income" are representive of the "poor" is rather amusing.

It's not that they're "representative", it's that they're blindly included in the numbers. The term "poor" evokes an image which many officially "poor" people are far from fitting.

But they are not blindly included. Yeah I'm sure a stray case here and there gets in. But very, very few "rich" people have no income. Indeed, most of them have more income from their investments than the average person makes in salary. That is, there are far fewer rich people included in the poverty figures than Neal would like you to believe.
