Republican Poor vs. Democratic Poor
(If you are a ) Republican Poor=only 1 good pair of shoes. Living on a farm with phone service, TV, heat, land, animals.
(If You are ) Democratic Poor= Only if you live on the street, no cell phone, no housing, rags for clothes. You aren't poor if you have a roof over your head, and heaven help you if you have a refrigerator and a microwave! That's middle class!
At least, that's how Repubs seem to see it.
