[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1011699, member: 249"] No, I am not kidding. I am pointing out that income alone should not be the only means test for poverty. Just because someone has a small income now doesn't mean they weren't productive in the past squirreling away money for a rainy day. They are still living like kings, and have no problem affording what they need, but since the government only qualifies them based on income they can qualify for assistance they otherwise should not receive.
