Food for thought... The kind of food robots still can't serve up ;)
You use the word poor. I used the word worker. There is nothing that says being direct labor makes you poor. I gave examples at what I view daily. I know there are legitimate poor out there that can't figure out how to feed themselves. But I also stand behind the statement that these people might not be as *poor* as you think. The fact that it's not taxable income doesn't mean it's not income.
