To add to your comments, being poor is not only a relative term, it can also be a temporary state. We’ve all had our “poor” times. My parents were so poor after they got married during the Korean War that Dad sneaked food home from the mess hall to feed my mom, who was experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. Over the next decades, their subsistence-level life gradually evolved into upper middle class economic status. Throughout that transition, they were the first to help those in need. Like me, I bet most people have cyclical, fluctuating economic circumstances. The person flying high one day is shot down the next—and vice-versa. The ability to improve one’s personal and economic circumstances, with limited government intervention, is what has made this country great.
I had to mute the tv...
Exactly!!
My son was laughing the other day when we saw a commercial saying “[X number of] children are facing hunger every day in America.” He said that sure, he faced hunger several times a day himself!!
