Bill O'Reilly is so smart. He wants to teach John Edwards about poverty by telling him (and us) that poor people aren't really poor:

If you earn less than $10,000, you are poor. If a family of four earns less than $21,000, they are poor. Yet according to the government census, poor households in America have lots of stuff.

Ninety-seven percent have a color TV, 78 percent a DVD player, 80 percent an air conditioner, 73 percent a car or truck, 63 percent cable or satellite TV, and 43 percent of poor households in the USA own the home they are living in.

So if the poor are not destitute in America, and they obviously are not, why are so many veterans sleeping under bridges, John Edwards? The answer again is they're mostly addicted or mentally ill. It has nothing to do with the economy.

I'm sure that in BOR's mind, poor people should be filthy and dressed in tattered, stinking rags, screaming at invisible voices and pushing shopping carts filled with their worldly possessions. Kind of like how some trolls claimed that the homeless veterans in FOX ATTACKS! "Non-Existent" Veterans were too respectably groomed and dressed to be homeless, even having the audacity to have cell phones with earpieces.

BOR has no concept of the WORKING POOR. What a struggle it would be to provide food and a roof for a family of four when your household makes less than $21,000 a year. That people can work full time jobs (sometimes more than one) and still be poor. That people can have things but barely be making it.

John McCain has done more than just embrace George Bush's policy in Iraq, it's actually his idea to escalate the war there. It's John McCain's idea to send tens of thousands more soldiers to Iraq and to keep them there with no timeline for bringing them home.
