The poor in this country need to be allowed a certain standard or else they'd be rioting everyday. Plain and simple. It's the give them enough rope model.
How many people are literally enslaved by their credit card bills? How many live one paycheck away from absolute financial ruin, homelessness and potential starvation?
Those in power are smart enough to know that you have to give some small concessions to the people who make your money for you or they'd come and take what you have for themselves.
