'People resent the capitalist system because it leads to inequality, but they don't realize that it's the capitalist system that allows us to live on what we deem a "living wage" in the first place.'

Is it not amazing how the word "poor" is bandied about on these anti-Walmar-t threads?

The Term "Poor" brings up such horrid images of scarecrow-like waifs begging for food.

Poor in Bangladesh means their is a better than average chance you will die of starvation.

Poor in the USA means you can only afford to buy an old secondhand Xbox instead of the new Xbox 360.

You are absolutely correct!

I don't consider myself poor and neither do my kids!

The value everything they have and don't ask for much!
