I’m sick up to here with “the poor”.

Every "poor" person in the USA who doesn't thank God every day and every night that they live in this country should be deported to some third world African nation (maybe Zimbabwe) where they can find out what it is really like to be poor.

"Poor" people in the USA get free housing, free healthcare, free money, tend to be obese, have at least one TV, a cell phone and even a computer with Internet access. The nerve of some of these people to complain about anything when there are people in the world who are really doing without the basics in life.

The USA is probably the best country in which one can be poor. Most other countries would let poor people starve and die because they simply don't care.

“Poor people in the USA get free housing, free healthcare, tend to be obese........”

Wow. Is this really true ? Then your politicians are not much better than ours rewarding their customers with handouts.
Funny you should mention American welfare ; during every Election we have some Socialist candidate warning the voters that :

If they dont vote for him then this country will get like America where there is no welfare system and the poor live on the streets and black and Latin kids suffer from malnutrition oh and if you get hit by a car the hospital leaves you to die if you dont have private insurance did you know one child every 2 minutes dies in Greater Los Angeles why can’t we have a National Assistance programm e like in the 1940s did you know North Korea has the best health system in the world not many people do............

May I use your post to demolish this argument with some of my lefty mates in our local pub ?
I dont want to use your quote without asking you first.
Cheers

There are no “pur” (as Rush likes to pronounce it) in this country.

You want real poor people, go to Haiti.
