Idiot Issa says U.S. Poor are the envy of the world

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/05/rich-congressman-its-great-be-poor-america

snip:

America’s the richest country on Earth because we’ve been able to put capital together and we’ve been able to make our poor somewhat the envy of the world,” Issa told Alesci. “If you go to India or you go to any number of third-world countries, you have two problems: you have greater inequality of income and wealth. You also have less opportunity for people to rise from the have-not to the have.”

Let them eat juice and Soy milk. No wait, now allowed by WIC. Issa a typical one percent blow hard idiot.

if he's wanting to be envied. Let him try living on my paltry social security check, and let me struggle to get by on his millions.

What a freaking idiot.
