“I see a reporter here. I just pray that you start writing about these issues. I just pray. Stop always writing about, ‘Oh, the person couldn’t get, you know, their food stamps or this or that.’ You know, I saw something the other day — it’s like, another sob story, ‘But what about what’s happening to the country and the country as a whole?
Let's face it, with all the many welfare handouts, our poor sure do it have it pretty good.
Compare the typical poor family of today where each kid has a cell phone, $150 shoes, plenty of clothes, a wide screen television with cable to watch and a nintendo and/or playstation with a typical middle class family in the 1960s where the kids grew up fine with none of that.

When I graduated from college I was struggling, certainly not poor and I didn't have a lavish lifestyle. I didn't have any luxuries that poor people supposedly have. How is that possible when my salary was higher than the average poor person?????????
