Unless you have been to the Third World, you have no idea of how "un-poor" America is. No one in this country is starving. We have TANF, WIC, free breakfast at school, free lunch at school, Medicaid, Section 8 housing.... ...Spend some time in Africa or Southern Asia and see children who live on whatever roots, grubs, berries and insects their parents could gather that day. See families have to travel five miles to reach fresh water and carry a few gallons home. Trust me, not having a Blackberry by the time you're twelve is NOT "starving."
