Perhaps we have too many staying too long on the welfare rolls? And, what is poverty really? I guess when one has seen true poverty in other countries, it’s hard to say that many Americans are truly impoverished. The poorest of our poor live high on the hog compared to many world wide. I hope my heart has not become too hardened; but I’ve lost the ability to feel compassion for many who demand more and more hand outs because they are “poor” while they sport their mobile phones, tattoos, eat out at fast food places regularly, find money for lotto tickets, feed their drug habit, buy junk food with their food stamp money, etc. Just my opinion of course.
