So constructive.

It's a legitimate question. Seems like every year the definition of "poor" shifts a little more. Years ago, being poor actually meant that you had to go without. My mother grew up in the Yukon in a single parent family, and she remembers periods of time when there was only one meal a day and any "new" clothes she got were donations from other families. Today is seems that "poor" means that you have to wait for your next welfare cheque before you can buy Modern Warfare 3.
