re: As a former poor person, most poor people are useless and do nothing for society

An very AMAZING stat is that the poor in the USA are not really poor.
If you make $34K in one year, that puts you in the top 1% of all wage earners in the WORLD.
That's right folks.
$34K/year = top 1% in the world.
Think about that...

No way! :)
You mean purple hair and face tats aren't desirable executive traits?

American "poor" people have cars, huge flat screen televisions, air conditioning, smart phones, essentially unlimited supply of food, etc.
That's some kind of bizarre definition of "poor". Of course, our middle-class live better than obscenely rich people of almost any era in the past, including the first half of the 20th Century.

I consider the poor to be people who are working hard, but can’t make ends meet or can just barely make ends meet. With that in mind, it is very hard to be poor in America when there is so much opportunity, abundance, and social assistance programs.
I don’t consider the poor to be the people who are fit enough to stand out on a street intersection all day with a sign, but for some reason won’t get a job. If you can stand in the heat all day, you can fry some bacon in an air conditioned Waffle House. But unfortunately, most want to be out on the street at night, because that’s when they do the things that made them poor or homeless in the first place. Biblical poor are not drunks and direlects who refuse to work.

As a cop, I deal with poor people daily. It doesn't take long to figure out why they are the way they are.

I'm only poor because I spend $50k a year on blow. So, I'm actually rich.
