Absolutely agree but there is 'poor' and there is poor. [b]Many many 'poor' today have a car, air conditioning, cell phones, multiple flat screen TVs, cable  and items which I myself consider luxuries.[/b] We only have one TV in our house even though I can afford more. I think the 'poor' aught to provide for more themselves and that frees more resources for the truly poor. Catering to the 'poor' doesn't truly help these people, takes resources from others truly in need and is provided via heavy taxation which is an undue burned on many middle classes families which have to make sacrifices to pay those taxes. I appreciate the generosity and compassion of many posters here but to simply give everyone because a perception their life is more 'lousy' than their own is not sound policy and if you ask me awfully naive even if it makes you feel good about yourself (talking in general and not describing you in that way).[/quote]

"Many many" poor? How many poor? And how do you know this?

(Do you also consider a refrigerator a luxury?)[/quote]
