#1 For the donks, this is a feature, not a bug. They'd be happy to turn us all into beggars in the name of "fairness."

#3 Among regions, the South had the highest poverty rate at 16.9 per cent and the highest percentage without health insurance, 19.1 per cent.

Well at least they felt better. I always feel better when somebody else is BUYING!

#4 They'd be happy to turn us all into beggars in the name of "fairness."

I believe the operative term is 'dependents' as in dependent upon their graces to distribute other people's wealth garnered through those people's skill, ability, and entrepreneurial talent. Toss in a good dose of envy rhetoric to keep us all in a guilty state of mind to demurely roll over and you have it.

#7 "US poverty rate hits record high"

Yeah, it's a pity - our poor people can barely afford their TVs, cable, cell phones, microwaves, cars, designer clothes, tattoos, artificial nails, etc.

Maybe Al Jizz would like to tell us about the poor people in the Middle East...
