Is there? Yes actually and its a proven fact. One need only look at the increased need for food pantries, the increase in homelessness, the increase in bankruptcies for people of little means, the number of kids who get one of their 2 meals a day thanks to hot lunch programs.....

Its nonsense like this that proves beyond doubt that the right is the party of the real ivory tower....a tower so isolated that they never see the inner city or rural poverty that is a fact of life in this country. Is their poverty in the US? Ask the victims of Katrina......
