Bill Whittle of PJTV makes an excellent point in the video below that I have been complaining about for years. Namely, that the so-called "poor" in America are not really poor and that our tax money...the 50% or so of us who are paying taxes...should not go to support most of those who are receiving entitlements. I have long contended that someone who is "poor" does not have cable TV...does not have a cell phone...does not have an Xbox. These people are not poor and I don't want to pay for their cable bill or to buy them cigarettes or Twinkies.
Whittle shows graphs from a new Heritage Foundation report on poverty in the U.S. These charts are very revealing. Watch the video and tell me that we cannot cut fat out of the entitlement programs.
