1. Drinking in the afternoon: Rich people have a glass of wine or scotch with lunch or some drinks on the golf course. Poor people drink 40’s on the front porch.
2. Not working for weeks on end: Rich people are retired or have people who run their companies for them. Poor people either can’t find work or choose to live off government benefits.
3. Driving really old cars: Rich people buy old cars and fix them up so they are “classics”. Poor people can’t afford to drive any car made in the last 3 decades.
4. Naming their kids after the father: Rich people have many children all named Kinglsey (the 3rd, 4th, 5th). Poor people have many children all named Ray Bob, Jr.
5. Showering outdoors: Rich people have beach houses with outdoor showers to rinse off the sand after they’ve been on the beach. Homeless people use broken fire hydrants, fountains or outdoor faucets to wash up.
6. Large families: Rich people breed to carry on their legacy. Poor people breed to get more welfare.
7. Eating very small food portions: Rich people pay loads of money for gourmet meals that consist of small portions that leave you hungry. Poor people have to ration their food supply and therefore eat small meals.
8. Thrift stores: Rich people shop at thrift stores for “vintage” clothing. Poor people shop at thrift stores for anything they can afford.
9. Getting things for free: Rich people get things for free because companies want them to recommend the products to their rich friends. Poor people get things for free from charity.
10. Depression: Rich people are depressed because they are bored and it’s trendy. Poor people are depressed because, well, they’re poor.

They both never have anything to wear.
they are both REPUBLICAN: rich people vote to protect their money with corporate crony`ism…and poor people buy the pile of sh%t sold to them from the squaking heads on the networks and newspapers the rich man controls….

they both always want “more” than they have now.
Hahaha that's perfect!
rich people smell terrible with there cologne and perfume. poor people just smell
Rich people like to go in boats, like to Cuba and Vietnam. Poor people like to go in boats, like from Cuba and Vietnam
This is funny and sad all at the same time.
Sorry, but that was lame…
ummmm. No. Lots of super rich people are Democrats. The squaking heads work for the media which is 99% Left biased. Very little right wing media in the main stream. CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC. All left leaning.
Facts would really help you out.
rich people sleep in tents/sleeping bags and call it camping
poor people sleep in tents/sleeping bags because it's all they can afford
i think that could be said for any demographic. not just the rich and poor.
Traditionally speaking the rich have always leaned to the Right Wing…stop trying to be a smart ass.
omg i love you where have you been all my life?
come have a cocktail w me on my blog.
Cheers!

You mean stereotypically speaking. A stereotype is not a proof, and Jeff just offered a pretty good counterargument.
no he offer a talking point that bears no relation to reality
since when was Fox, the single most popular news outlet in the country and also the most blatantly right-leaning, only 1% of the media?
Facts would really help you out.
The media companies are only as liberal as the conservative businessmen that own them.
smoking factor:rich women smokes in parites and poor women smokes working on fields,there is always a property fight between to rich cousiens same with the poor family they keep on figthing on wat ever little they have to get the most of it.
I agree with Jeff. And kaustubh9, learn to write, what the heck are you talking about? "women smokes in parites" and "poor women smokes working on fields". Also "rich cousiens" and "wat ever"(?) No one is going to listen to you as long as you can't read and write. If you're going to put something out there for millions on the web to see at least be half-way intelligent about it.
I think we should all get naked and vote independant.
leave it to some net fag flamers to turn a funny column into another political discussion. We get it, youre (right or left) wing. Good for you, douche.
Not funny. Choosing to point out only the negative aspects of the lives of poor people is pretty tasteless.
rich people are much cooler and poor people are much poorer
actually my last statment was very intelligent thing to say
if u read it without out the idea of money in it
and use what i said in the context of well being and over all out look on life
u know the poor person could be rich and be very poor to talk to and have a poor out look on life
as could the rcih person be very poor but have a happy go lucky life and very rich to talk to and have a good out look on life
its all in contex or the perception from the beholder
i said everything in the last comment backwards i dont know how i managed that
there is some alchool involved but some how i stated my hole point in the backwards forumula
