War on poverty

"Andy, why don't you stop into the Bethesda Center on Patterson Ave. one morning and ask those guys if they have cable."

Have you stopped there??? Have you asked them about their circumstances???

"Do you think the Connor's that lived on 66 across from my grandparents had cable tv? Oh yeah. They didn't have electricity! That's right."

Why didn't they have electricity??? Were they disabled??? Did Brown Mtn. Church help the Connor family???

"Sure, we're always going to have those folks who live in a trailer and drive a Hummer and have the huge satellite dish in the front yard. But I don't believe that's considered true "poverty"."

What do you consider "true poverty"???
