Repugican Rand Paul suggests the poor don't have it that bad

He actually said we should be proud of the way our poor live:

"They filmed a building in the poorer section of New York with some broken windows and they said, `Oh, this is how the poor in America lives,'" Paul said at last week's forum. "But it backfired on them because the Soviet citizens looked at that video closely and they saw flickering color television sets in all those windows."

Paul went on to say that "the poor in our country are enormously better off than the rest of the world. It doesn't mean we can't do better. But we have to acknowledge and be proud of our system of capitalism."

Who can argue with a movie?

Well, he does have a point ... at least our poor have garbage to eat other places there is no garbage for them to eat. Not to mention the cardboard boxes for shelter ...
