What Happened to the POOR?

You never hear a politician talk about the “poor”, why?

They don’t exist anymore.

We have transferred wealth from the middle class so that the poor and middle class are now one.

If you work you are middle class, if you were poor, all the social programs (welfare, health-care, food stamps, utility allowance, rent subsidies, etc) have now made you middle class.

Now the political goal is to combine the middle class and rich to create a socialist population.
