Also need to include in the list: cigarettes, alcohol, illegal drugs, and acrylic manicures. There is almost always room in the poverty budget for these items.

We need to shut up and quit griping. We are blessed. We HAVE no poor as the world understands that concept. A whole lot of people need to make a trip to Africa or Central America to understand what poverty is really all about.

[Dick Cinnamon]

They have no idea what “poor” really means.

I've seen poverty.*Real* poverty.In Africa *and* Asia.In Tanzania I saw a little child (black,of course),perhaps 8 years old,with red/orange hair,a big belly and little stick legs.Those are the classic signs of profound malnutrition (the red hair is seen in black people I'm told).In the Bronx,OTOH,you also see people with big bellies...but the rest of them tends to be big as well.And they,unlike the child in Tanzania,are usually on an ObamaPhone.

Living a lifestyle which is the envy of half the world’s population.

The corrupt feds are unconstitutionally putting monetary value on votes, essentially allowing the poor to buy things with their votes via constitutionally indefensible federal welfare programs.

Having had the privilege of traveling to some places that were 3rd world and seeing dirt floors and poverty beyond anything ever seen in America, it assaults our intelligence and our paychecks to know people drawing entitlements in the USA are texting, have big screen TVs, the latest shoes, buying cuts of meat I could not in my wildest dreams afford to buy and using it to buy drugs, music and movie theater tickets. A complete overhaul is needed, but neither political party will approach it out of fear of losing voters.

VCRs? The injustice! Something must be done to alleviate their suffering. Blu-ray should be a civil right!
