How can Edwards claim this poverty theme with a straight face? Americans have never been wealthier and more people own their own homes than ever before in our nation's history.

One of the most popular gifts this year were large screen HDTV's. As someone once said in India: "I want to live in America where even the poor are fat."

SOCIALISTS believe all is lost UNTIL every person in the nation has equal assets, with only people in POWER [him] deciding what level of equality is correct for all!!

He is the nation's new poverty pimp!!

Absolutely. Recently, Rush Limbaugh cited a study by a scholar from AEI (Nicholas Eberstadt) who demonstrated that today's "poverty" standards are equivalent to US middle class living standards of the 1960s.

Transfer payments aren't included in calculating "poverty income," etc....

"poverty"

He claims it the same way the libs claim hunger is a problem. You want to shake these people and say "for crying out loud, look around you. Where are the hungry people in America?". The government has revealed statistics proving that the fattest segment of the American population are the people in the lowest third of the income distribution. It's all about having an agenda and creating dependents.
