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.
