There are all levels of poverty in the US. Even in the paradise Hawaii I saw homeless people camping out on the beach with many living from the back of their cars. You and I could be could be homeless if we agreed with the likes of caribj and gilly and stretch our hands out for entitlements. Instead we chose to pull ourselves up by the boot strap. A concept foreign to those who continue to blame the "man" for their plight in life.

FACT: Gilly worked and earned wages until early retirement at 60 and after suffering a serious stroke. Gilly never took disability benefit, only a measly retirement CPP retirement benefit. After 65th birthday Gilly started collecting Old Age Pension. Don't smear my good name where money is concerned. Gilly preaches and practises HONOR BEFORE MONEY.

And to be fair to Carib, he said recently that he runs a business at age 60. I believe him.

Drugb, when will you stop your outrageous nonsense?
