Depends on your definition of "poor." I was eligible for food stamps for
about ten of my fifty years, but I didn't take any handouts, I didn't take
anything I had not earned. I'm only a little above poor myself, I don't live
in a mansion, I live in a 30 year old trailer.

I may be one of the poor, but I have never accepted welfare and many times
have worked two, sometimes three jobs to pay the bills. Right now I consider
myself to be above the poor line since I'm only working one job.
Answer this: Why should any portion of my earnings be handed out to those
who have less than me? That is theft.
