The New Poor

We live in a very spoiled age with generations of spoiled people. Poor used to have a different meaning. I know several people who now are out of work and have been for a while. They have constant worries and cannot pay their rent, yet they have air conditioning, iphones, high speed internet, cable and satellite tv, take mini vacations, even with the high cost of gasoline, and never, ever, ever go without their drugs: cigarettes, booze or whatever. That is a heck of a way to be poor. My heart bleeds.
