Sure, there are people who are poor in this country . . . relative to a population that enjoys about the best standard of living in the history of mankind!!! I'm a bit tired of "poor" people in this country whining about their circumstance when I see them watching big televisions and driving decent cars and carrying around 100 extra lbs. of fat on their arses - if you want to see "poor" go to rural Nicaragua or the shantytowns of any large Latin American city - hundreds of thousands of people who live in one or two room tin roof shacks that about blow over every time it storms. That is not to say that there are no people in this country who are having a rough go of it, but a good number of the "poor" are in that situation because of their own decisions and actions and, compared to much of the rest of the world, they live like freakin' kings.
Man, I'm startin' to sound like a Republican - if only you guys would give up your pipe dream of spreading democrcy throughout the Middle East at the point of a bayonet and would cut it out with silly religous b.s. I'd come over to the dark side.....
