Ahh... freedom. (P.S.)

It was only after the debate had ended that I realized what exactly what the statistics that he quoted really ment...

>He said: "In 1994, in low-income families whose family heads were under 65 years old, 20% of thefaily heads were working full-time, 35% had either partyear or parttime jobs, and only 45% were not employed."

Do you realize that the head of the household, the main person to whom the responsibility of earning money traditionally falls (of the families considered low-income), only 1 out of every 5 were employed full time... and that nearly half were not employed at all...!?

And he is writing this to defend the idea that Capitalism is a slave society, and that we are obligated to work!

>And low income he quoted as: "The low income line is set as, anyone spending more than 55% of gross income on the basic necessities is considered poor."

Give me a break! 55% is just over half. And with a TV now considered a "necessity" what else would you spend you're money on? Umm... lobster... no, sorry. I guess food is a necessity too. lol
Even thoes that are well below the poverty line in a Capitalist society are a long way from starving and many times richer than thoes considered poor other countries.

Just ranting...
