I think that people who blithely make comments like, If you own a refrigerator, you cannot possibly be poor, unknowingly offer us very telling glimpses of their souls. Admittedly, poor Americans generally are much better off than those in many countries. But then, isnt America supposed to be held to a higher standard? But the notion that we can own luxuries like refrigerators and not be struggling with economic catastrophe is simply ludicrous. The fact is, the thought that an underclass can actually own homes and I-Phones and cars and air-conditioners, regardless of the difficulty in maintaining them grievously offends the wealthy. It conflicts with their worldview and own sense of entitlement. It may be my conspiratorial bent, but I truly believe the ultimate objective of the 1% is to ensure that we become the modern equivalent of vassals and sharecroppers, owning nothing and indentured to the company store that is America.
