    This makes way too much sense for anyone who is a Republican to figure out.

    this really inst true. the botton 20% in this country have too much. they are fat. if they need money they could just reduce their calorie intake by half and buy whatever they need with the money they save.

    i have never even seen a geniunely poor person in america. at least not one that wasnt that way because they were an addict.

    The bottom 20% have an average net worth of $7,500 which is mostly their used car and personal possessions.

    Your tired stereotypes make you look really uninformed and unimaginative.

    That's pretty good. I know lots of middle class people with negative net worths.

    what do they need that they dont have?

    the only possible answer is health care, which is the only thing anyone needs that is not dirt cheap in this country.

    Actually it makes no sense. You know the difference between us and Revolutionary France, Imperial Rome, are Czarist Russia? The poor here are not starving. They are not eating rat and shoe soul soup for dinner. Poo people here have iphones.
