Im lower-middle class and Im very conservative. Im working my way though college on loans. I just dont want the government giving me free shizzit that they confiscated from my fellow countrymen, unless Im on the verge of starving and cannot feed myself.

In my mind, the real poverty is living on $1 a day, being on the brink of starvation/disease, having no water, etc.

In America, the difference between poor and rich comes down to bigger house, bigger car, hotter wife, since here even the totally destitute arent starving to death or freezing to death in droves like they do in countries that face real poverty.
