re: Article- 86% off strident conservatives think the poor "have it easy" in America

True story. Our church does a lot of work with the poor in our community. For families in serious need, we help pay people's electricity bills, gas bills, rent, put gas in their cars, give them food, etc.

A few months back a lady called our church asking for help paying her electricity bill. She told our minister that she had several kids and their electricity had been turned off. The minister told her to come to the church to meet with him (this is for a simple screening to make sure they're not druggies). He gave her the address and started to give her directions on how to get to the church. She said, "That's ok. I'll just punch the address into my GPS."

He said she rolled up 20 minutes later in a late model SUV, equipped with GPS. The minister, btw, drives a 13 year old Kia.

I lived in South America for 6 years. I've seen poverty. I wouldn't say the poor anywhere "have it easy." But the poor in America are sure better off than the poor in most other places.
