[/quote] guess they have it figured out. they hardly work and get food stamps, almost free housing, free medical and many other handouts. no wonder they have money to blow. guess they figure the ones working so hard paying for stuff for others are the stupid ones. <sigh> [/quote] No, they are unfulfilled and miserable...fun is not happiness and poor people are selfish, always looking for the next item to make them "happy" as soon as they can afford it... They will be the fist to go crazy when the system can't collect enough taxes to give them handouts any longer, they have nothing to fall back on... [/quote] True, I have a 'friend'(i was one to her but not the other way around) who has got the give me/entitlement mentality now and I can't stand to be around her. She use to be a hard worker then got 'fibromyalgia' which then got her on disability. Now she is lazy and thinks people should feel sorry for her and give her what she wants. It really becomes a sickness. She has made herself mentally ill with her sick thinking. It really is a shame. [/quote] Really you are no friend to anyone. You know all about mental illness though dont you since you have used it your whole life to take off others.. [/quote]

States across the nation rely on poor suckers to fund their spending. No, we’re not talking about taxpayers – we’re talking about lottery ticket purchasers. According to new studies, households earning $13,000 per year spend almost $1,170 per year on lottery tickets – 9 percent of total income.
As it turns out, many people living in poverty make poor financial decisions.
