| I watched a report on this very thing on my local news last week. The report stated there were more people below the poverty line now than ever before. The reporter interviewed a man waiting in a church food bank line, he told her that he was hurting because he needed to go to the food bank twice a month to survive, she then asked him if he was homeless, he said no he owns his home, has gas, electric and digital cable, you know all the basics.
Most of the people she talked to that day also stated they had cable and internet services.
What the hell is that? If I was standing in a food bank line it would be because I have exahsted all means of providing food for me and my amily. That means I would cancel my cable, sell my TV,computer, cancel the internet. These clowns choose to stand in a line at the food bank. It's called living beyond your means. These poverty surveys are a crock. They reflect the lazy, while keeping the real poor in the shadows. |
