Our poor are those who don't have all the stuff the wealthy have. And they want to have all that stuff and be able to do all the things the wealthy can do. If they can't... well they consider themselves poor.
There are those "types" of people, too, yup. There are also those who like a simple, un-ostentatious life, too. lol For example, Warren Buffett could easily afford a home that would make Gore's main home look like a shoebox, but instead it is about 6200' sq.

I bet if you go into every housing project they all have a flat screen and cable TV and air conditioning. I bet they would consider themselves poor as well.
