I'm starting to think that half the "poor" families in the US are that way because they just don't know how to shop. |
Let's face it, being ''poor'' in America today means you don't have an iphone and an Xbox. I think those that are simply utterly stupid with money infinitely outnumber true, dirt poor people in this country.
I think many of us see it in our own personal lives, I know I do, people who cry poverty, can't/won't pay their bills but they've always got nice ''stuff''. The person I know personally couldn't be bothered to pay car insurance, was always late on rent, still has their mom paying the cell phone bill, even blew off payments to a debt consolidation company but her and her ''baby daddy'' had Xboxes, cable, internet, Hulu, this and that out the bloody wazoo.
Like I said, I think there's far more absolute irresponsibility than true poverty in America.
