6. I'd love to know what his definition of POOR is
Edited on Thu May-26-11 05:09 PM by Warpy
because I know I didn't get a satellite dish until 5 years ago when I inherited my dad's portfolio. I never had cable or satellite, that's right. My computer was my window on the world and mostly because I'd gotten grandfathered into cheap DSL when I saw the cables being laid. My computers were jerrybuilt arrangements and I fixed them myself when they conked out. My color TV cost me $50 at a thrift shop, which is where most of my furniture came from. There was no thrift shop cable and I'm too honest to steal it even though I had means and knowledge.

I think this colossal idiot must feel that anyone making under 6 figures is poverty stricken.

The churches have never had either the means nor the inclination to care for all the poor, which is why they've restricted their social work, where it even exists, to their own congregations unless they have members of those congregations willing to pay their own way on junkets to the third world.

If anyone needs to be dragged out of bed at 3 AM and hogtied and sent to be reeducated by the peasants, it's this selfish joker. I suggest he visit any of the colonias here in NM to find out what real poverty is like.
