Additionally, America is the only country where the “poor” can be upwards of 100 pounds overweight and make twice weekly trips to the casino.
No money for such boring necessities as health insurance premiums, though.
Not a dime to be found...

poverty is being a democrat.
It is someone that believes that they can not take care of themselves, but must be supported by the state.

The “poor” in the US live like the middle class in Europe and Asia. They’d be upper middle class in S. America and Africa. They should get on their knees every day and thank God they were born poor in America.

In childhood, our family must have been considered poor. However, compared to ‘poor’ individuals and families today, our home was NOT squalid, we just were poor and decent-not poor and ignorant.

Real poverty is a teenage girl prostituting herself to keep her family from starving. I’m not aware of any such in America.

This is no suprise...they did the same thing with overweight people a couple of years ago.
Are there overweight people in this country? Of course there are.
However, they changed the way the BMI was calculated, moved the numbers around, and PRESTO!!, more fat people were created overnight!!

Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
How do these people drive when they can't even get ID to vote?!
At least, that's why dems claim they won't pass a voter ID law.
Because of the "poor"...
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that dead people and illegal immigrants don't have voting ID's either, right?

What’s missing from this report is the mentally ill homeless poor who in the 1980’s the left decided should not be institutionalized but should be free to roam our streets.
