37 Million Americans Live Below the Poverty Level
37 million Poor Hidden in the Land of Plenty. That is 12.7% of the population - the highest in the developed world. Under Geo.W. Bush an extra 5.4 million have slipped below the poverty line. Most have jobs; some have two or three. But the economy ...is having trouble providing a good wage.

But our president can allocate trillions to war.

Education is free?! I feel so stupid paying on all those student loans all these years! I didn't know. I'm going to stop paying TODAY!
Also, now that I've had the wool removed from my eyes, that public school my son attends had better stop nickel and diming me to death. For a free institution, it's sure costing me a lot. And that property tax crap better stop right now! Thanks, 3 pats! i didn't know!
Ah, planning for old age.... Planning, period. Three Patriots, wait until life gives you a bitch slap right across the face and you suddenly find your plan in tatters around you. When you find yourself in a situation over which you have no control, you'll know. Trust me on that one. I did everything right, and I still got screwed. Happens ALL the time. Good luck to you, though.

You are right Julian; I went to school; I made plans; I did everything right, too. But I sure didn't get the silver spoon plan. As for me, I'd rather spend my tax money buying meds for old folks than blowing up the Middle East
