I’ve noticed that in order to be poor enough to be pitied by the GOP, you must actually wear sackcloth and ashes. It’s not enough that you can’t afford healthcare, or have no plan for when your car gets totaled.

No, you have to actually be crawling on your hands and knees before you’re poor enough to be poor.

And of course, nobody is actually poor, they are just hiding from their bootstraps or some such crap.
