#1 No doubt a lot of the national income is spent on the royals. But also a lot goes to the religious 'leaders', the religious police, training imans overseas, building mosques overseas, funding islamic 'charities', etc.

Of course, the royal family probably blames the poverty on Israel.

#3
"Homelessness is part of poverty and when we say poverty we mean real poverty,"

As opposed to overweight / Color TV DVD / cell phone yakkin' / car ownin' American poverty.

If the bottom drops out for me, there's no place else I'd rather be than the good ol' USA.

I count my blessings. And they are worth protecting.
