I am not surprised to find that many of the supposed "poor" aren't really poor. They just don't have as much as they'd like.
Makes you wonder just exactly what is the criteria for poor.
Let me tell you how folks like to think they are so bad off- they create problems and then milk the system, and still complain about "rich" folks.
I work with a woman who is married with 3 kids. She had a few marital problems (that resolved themselves), but according to what she tells the gov't, they are seperated. So when she's not working 40 hrs, she qualifies for food stamps. She makes a point of not normally putting in 40 hours, to stay eligible for max EIC and occasionally food stamps etc. She has DSL internet and satellite TV package, yet I've driven her to work when she "hasn't had the money" to fix her car.
