If you can feed your family, you're not poor. Tang, you may want venture out of Central Kansas and into a 3rd world country. Start telling them that people with luxuries like cable tv are poor and see what kind of reaction you get.
We have a different definition of what poor means. You can feed your family and still be poor.
So enlighten us on what it means to not be poor.
The current poverty line, as defined by the US department of health and human services, is as follows:
1 $12,140
2 $16,460
3 $20,780
4 $25,100
5 $29,420
6 $33,740
7 $38,060
8 $42,380

(Persons in family, income)

So, an arbitrary number is how you determine if someone is poor or not? Do you let the government tell you when to go to the bathroom too or just who is poor?

if there were less dems we would have less poor.....we would also have less people.
It’s fewer not less. Learn grammar. Better yet just go away.

I will go with the government's numbers, yes. I don't think that being told who is poor is trampling on my rights.

Tang, just once, please explain to us how a person can have an iPhone, Jordans and a Playstation and still be poor, without being either stupid and/or irresponsible. I think we'd love to hear how you think that's possible.
I'm glad I decided to open this one. I think I know the answer to this and bet Tangy don't.............

Here's how that's possible............ it's called theft.
No no Tang says these people can get these items lawfully and still be “poor”. He needs to stop back pedaling and defend this absurd assertion.

Trampling on your rights, no. Showing an inability to think critically, yes!

They can as long as they fall under a random number that the government sets, because the US government is ALWAYS right.

It is possible for someone to own all of those items and be below the poverty line.

Which proves that the "poverty line" is not a great indicator of whose poor.

Well the guidelines I cited are used for determining who gets governmental programs...

But I think that whole argument is a non-sequiter.

Isn't that the kind of comment you so adamantly claimed had no place in these threads?
Nice to see you didn't lost any of your hypocrisy while you were gone.
Might be best if you made a new "safe" thread for yourself.
