It Is Expensive to Be Poor

7. "Poverty is a shortage of money."

It's about damn time one of them said it. I personally am sick unto death of these aholes acting like the cause of the problem is anything BUT the lack of money. I've been poor, middle class and (almost) rich. The proof is in the pudding - my family and I always did better when we had more money. Being wo it can literally kill you these days yet we still have asshats in charge that still believe money doesn't buy everything. Really? Well, it sure takes care of medical care, transportation, housing, food and all the other little things we're expected to PAY for here in the land of the "free" to be considered a responsible citizen. Money does buy certain freedoms in this country and they know it.
