There are people in this world that would kill to be poor in this country. The poor have low rent or free housing, free food, free medical, free cell phones, free or subsidized utilities, plus they receive a monthly income. The income allows them to enjoy big screen HD TV and a few other nice things.
How do I know this? I’ve actually been onsite to hundreds of poor housing sites. I’m not saying that we should not help poor people that can’t help themselves. We should.
But, the cell phone bills alone now cost the taxpayers $1.6 billion. Some recipients do have more than one.
When I look at what our poor have, and then look at what I have, it makes me wonder why I ever worked at all.
I think I know. If I hadn’t worked, there would be some poor people without a big screen TV. How would they ever watch football?
In my life I have been poor - really poor. I have never been rich, nor do I expect to ever be. If things keep going like they are, I may want to be poor again. I could use the lifestyle improvement.
