Would this "poor" be the same poor that, on average, own two televisions and a car? Poor is what you see in third world countries not what you see in the US.

No, because wealth is all relative, that's simple economics.

So the guy with the least money in Bill Gate's neighborhood is the poor?

Of course wealth is relative but living conditions are what is being talked about and under that standard the US poor are the richest poor in the world with a standard of living that the third world envies.

Living conditions are also relative though.

While in the US people might find it unfathomable to not have a phone line, it's not a concern to your average Congoan or Somalian where the very basics would constitute a wealthyness.

That's exactly his point though, which is what's so ridiculous about the liberal class envy bullshit. There's always going to be rich and poor. The absolute best you can hope for is that lower end of the economic scale have it as good as you can get it under a particular economic system. Its been proven over and over and over and over that socialism does not result in a better class of poor, it results in a much larger class of poor. Liberals never learn that lesson no matter how many times you try to teach it to them because if there is even one rich guy, no matter how many jobs he or she created, that's one too many rich guys.

Your just afraid because in socialist paradise, there'd be no need for lawyers :surrender

Carthage and several other forum members are living in the dark ages. I really like Obama's quote regarding Republicans- "The Ownership Society". If you poor, you're on your own!

Actually, its "If you're lazy, you're on your own!"

Or you can vote Democrat and pray you die before the economy crashes and burns from the social entitlement programs.

Good one!

But actually, the socialists are the lawyers friend--at least in this country--the Democrats create one lawyer job for every regular job they lose!
