only in America do the "POOR" have Cars and Microwave Ovens and Cable and DVD players and VCR's and CD players and ipods and Cellphones and $200.00 sneakers and still piss whine and moan about being poor... not to mention all the water lights and electricity they could ever use Some welfare cheats, maybe. Some people who are good at garage sales, etc., can build up an inventory of fairly decent stuff and still be poor. A lot of these people are getting their clothes at second-hand stores and they don't wear $200 sneakers, etc.
nonsense, listen... "I" shop at the Salvation Army!!! have for years and as far as used stuff from flea sales, i do that too but, most things now days- the new is almost as cheap as the used... that's why so many people shop at Wally's, they can buy new instead of used for a couple bucks more.
