Now if my question to Army appears to you as trying to "hold him to a standard", I guess I need to make my questions shorter and more concise or start typing slower. Sorry for the confusion. |
No confusion on my part. You tried to deflect AOO criticism of some of the poor's excessive lifestyle. Excessive being that they go and live beyond their means, they purchase new cars without needing it, they buy a new tv and sacrifice healthy living to have it. This doesn't mean that there aren't poor people who do need help it just means that some of the poor are not as poor as they really are in comparison to not only US standards but world standards as a whole.
