Keep that in mind the next time you hear one of these snake oil salesmen politicians tugging your heart strings about the plight of the poor. Our poor people buy cigarettes, are fat, usually own at least one car and one television.
I wasn't disagreeing with you that they are normally poor. I was just making the point that politicians prey on the week.
