I am one of these "poor" Americans, retired and living on $1,000 a month. I own my home and acreage, Dodge truck, DishNetwork, DVR, DVD, washer, dryer, 2 color TV's, microwave and spend my spare money on rehabbing squirrels to release. The only thing I get from the government is a small SS check. Oh and I do have health insurance, not Medicare.

p>The welfare system keeps paying moms to stay home and have more babies so they can get a raise in their checks, which just makes more welfare moms that start while they are still kids themselves. If we stopped paying for more than one child the birth rate would drop. br> -- Elaine Kyle /p> p> The statistics on poverty in America make it really easy to see why so many illegal immigrants go there. Being poor in America beats the hell out of being rich in a lot of countries. No wonder the left hates America -- the mere existence of America puts the lie to every idea they have ever had. Keep up the good work. br> -- Christopher Holland br> Canberra, Australia /p> p> Thanks to two centuries of wealth creation by U. S. economy (fastest growth rate on the planet) welfare people on these shores today have higher standards of living than kings enjoyed 200 years ago. Unfortunately for the Democrat Party (John Edwards in particular), more than half of our electorate is irrevocably aware of this. br> -- Ty Knoy br> Ann Arbor, Michigan
