wait a minute, "I" made the dumb statement? You're the one claiming poor people are rolling the life fantastic...I'm claiming that people at poverty line level incomes who are not getting extraneous sources of untaxeable cash are not goin out and buying 2k TV's when I know they can barely feed themselves CAUSE I"VE SEEN IT!! Are some people scamming the welfare system? OF COURSE, they work somewhere on teh side and claim the need for welfare so they are in fact NOT making poverty line incomes. Those people with 'real" poverty line incomes are not putting hdtv's in every room. God what is so difficult here?
