Remembering what REAL poverty used to be in this country....at least we do not have that degree of devastation. What HAS changed, IMO, is the definition of what constitutes poverty today.
You are correct about that. The so-called poor in the US today are much much better off than the middle class in many third world nations.
BTW, who changed the definition? Who keeps raising the income level under which one is considered in "poverty"?
Are you saying that the people currently classified as living in poverty should be removed from that classification and have their welfare payments reduced or eliminated?
What exactly do you dems want? Oh, I know, everyone to be equal, fairness, tolerance, , oh, and punish the evil rich. About right?
One must consider the great strides in the War on Poverty. Why the poor are richer than they once were.
yeah, but, the dems still tell them they are too poor to survive without momma govt.
sure the poor are not as poor as they once were, but we now have a dependent class of citizens who contribute nothing and live on the largess of the rest of us. Do you really think that is good for the country?
