You may be right Para...but
I hear of all the poor and underpriviledged youth of the inner cities constantly harped on by the Dems, yet when I drive through a project in New Orleans I see nothing but name brand clothes, gold jewelry,cell phones, etc. If CNN were to stop and poll these citizens, they would tell you how poor and needy they are. Most if not all are on government assistance in some form if not multiple forms concurrently. FWIW, Don't think that I believe that this isn't the same issue with white trash trailer parks where these idiots own $35,000 trucks, cell phones,etc yet are still on food stamps, having six kids, drawing unemployment and disability from the "back ache" that still allows Ol' Slim to knee-board at the river drunk but not work a job.
IMO, these people have the same access to empowerment that I actually used growing up... free public education and sports, government sponsored college loans(some can even get free grants-not me
), hard work, ambition, and goals.
Do you think it is a true dwindling of the middle class? Or is it that Americans expectations of "minimum standards of living" are so obtuse and warped now?
