Overheard on Fox News last night...

Currently, the government definition of "poor" is what you own relative to what you make. Obama wants to change that to "what you own relative to what your neighbors own."

Pure-D socialism. Spread the electronic wealth.

I have to laugh, though--around here, I'm the "rich guy" because I'm surrounded by retirees. Does this mean Obama's going to even out their playing field by funding an extra car, high-speed internet, a computer, satellite TV, a pantry full of food, and a carport full of firewood just because I have them?

Does this man he's going to fund a flat-screen TV, DVR, Playstation/X-box, smart phone, I-pod, and Kindle for ME because people a block over have them (and I don't want them)?

Who IS this guy--Santa Claus with the taxpayer's money?

The current so-called "poor" don't need his help, either--they're the ones who kill themselves every Christmas at doorbuster sales (think WallyWorld). THEY have flat-screen TVs, DVRs, electronic game consoles, smart phones, and all the other crap that makes them poor relative to me.

Some hysterical humor: what if an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD was living frugally? Then it would be a race to the bottom in terms of austerity just to see what "Santa" would bring them, then a race to see who could get rid of it the fastest. It just cracks me up that this guy doesn't get that some people just don't WANT.
