sure we have poverty. but a whole lot less, probebly, then the USA. and when you look at denmark or sweden, who have stuck most with the whole idea of a welfare society, you will have tov look very hard to find real poverty.
i dont see why poverty cant be solved. id say if everybody is able to have a decent life, without not having enough money to provide for your family, then poverty is solved.

First we need to define poverty.

Please define it.

Poor people in America have cable TV. Does that count as Poverty?

That's where I'm going....

That's why I want OKI and the libs to define Poverty.

Many of those considered poor in America also own their own homes, own more than one car and have air conditioning.

They also wouldn't take a minimum wage job. "Ya"ll got to pay my ass to work"

Hell mike my daughter and her husband have trouble putting food on their table. In fact we just talked today about tomorrow when I take her to the store so they can get something to feed the kids. Along with that I'm buying the turkey dinner so that next week we can all eat together.

They have TV's in every room hooked up to Direct TV premium package. They both have I phones, they have 4 cars and the kids get every new toy that hits the market.

My daughter is in college and my son in law works full time at a good paying job. When he gets paid next Wednesday,they will be broke again in days.

Are they poor because they have to borrow from me to feed themselves? Hell no they just have a screwed up sense of priorities.

So then not having food can't be the measure of poverty now can it. One needs to look at the whole package doesn't one?
