Ya know that Obama and the Dems have been talking about all of the poverty in this country, that Bush has caused. Just look at who happens to be buying iPhones!! LOLOL Many of the idiots buying the iPhones happen to be those people so hurt by the supposed bad economy.

Don’t worry, once BO is elected, all of us will get free, government-provided fancy-schmancy iPhones and the government will bail us out if we can’t pay for the service contracts. Spreading it around, dontcha know.

Lower-Income Users Boost Sales of Apple's iPhone

- A new study reports that the strongest growth in purchases of Apple's iPhones comes from those earning less than the median household income.

According to the digital-media research firm comScore, iPhone adoption since June soared 48 percent among those earning $25,000 to $50,000 annually, and by 46 percent among those earning between $25,000 to $75,000. Under $25,000, the growth rate was 16 percent.

conspicuous consumption helps the economy overall while hurting the individual.

This is exactly like the many poor income Katrina victims who received the government issued credit cards for food and medicine after Katrina, and then turned around and used the cards to buy Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags while their children went without food. Pathetic.

Laugh all you want but the facts are that anyone who has a television and vcrs and dvrs and cable and all of the other goodies that most have is not truly poor, by any stretch of anyone's imagination.

I can only imagine that those government provided iPhones would include a fancy wire tap that you wouldn't know about. And the moment you say anything bad about Nobama you'd have several news trucks parked in front of your house, and all sorts of people trying to dig up dirt on you.
