Stay classy, Heritage Foundation.

The Heritage Foundation pushes back on the idea that poverty in America is really that bad. For example, of the 30 million Americans living below the poverty line, did you know that 99.6 percent have a refrigerator?

It's astounding to me that we're going to hold it against poor people if they shell out 50 bucks, once a year, for a used video game system. Some conservatives won't be happy until the poor are reduced to 1930's level of poverty.

  1. Wow. I bet a good number of those 99.6 percent cannot pay their electricity bills, rendering their refrigerators useless. Should we at least give Heritage credit for at least using a credible, non-partisan data source? Hm - no.
