Reply #63: You've made an excellent point.

I've had arguments before with people who complained that everything was being done for the poor and nothing for "those of us in the middle class." When I pointed out to them that the salary they were making as an LVN with 2 kids, or two bus drivers with 3 kids meant they were actually poor, they didn't believe me. No one wants to believe they're poor or eligible for food stamps when they're living this fantasy that they're part of the American dream.
