As I've said before the vast majority of poverty in America is self-inflicted. Add in illegal aliens and that explains most of it.
Well if you were seriously ill, you would have had that scan, but in this country, if your on an hmo, and lets be honest here, a lot of people are, not through choice, and that includes a hell of a lot of teachers, then something like a cat scan might not be covered, meaning going without, or paying thousands in costs...getting the best treatments aren't covered because the insurance won't pay for....hardworking american citizens die everyday because of the lack of decent healthcare for everyone.

And you can't blame it all on illegals, sure there are plenty of illegals, but then there are also plenty of legal american citizens born in this country that are in poverty and no one choses to be poor.

well actually I don't act any different with anyone I know here, and they have similar outlooks on life, but then if they were small minded miserable people, I wouldn't want to be associated with them would i.

Not in this thread you won't...it might be a free country of free speach, which you don't seem to appreciate the irony of, but this isn't a democratic website.
