Air Conditioning, Cable TV, and an Xbox: What is Poverty in the United States Today?

[Ultra Peanut]

I just adore the logic that says the costs of minor luxuries like TVs or phones or video game systems compare in any way to the constant sucking hole that is food and housing and medical care, not to mention how tiny a percentage of a poor person's budget buying an Xbox would be compared to the insane expenses people in the middle class rack up when buying a home or going on a trip or going out to eat nightly or, in a lot of cases, commuting to work.

But it's easier to blame those lazy, good-for-nothing poors for your own ever-increasing problems as the world turns more and more to shit, I guess, instead of acknowledging the system is slanted against and squeezing the poors and yourself and, if you're reading ChiefsPlanet, most likely everyone else you know. Keep on truckin'.
