What, is so "radical" by making the observation that poor folks don't buy homes... This is purdy much accepted as fact... I'm talking folks who fall under the "poverty line"... Who exactly finances them, Dickey???

No, as per usaul you can find a statistic that shows that actually a mnumber of oppr people own their own homes... This is differebnt than buying their own homes... I mean, just take Mississippi for example... I know of people and have played music with people who are a poor as poor can be who own theor own homes... I mean, and I'd be glad to provide a way for anyone to see a picture to prove it of me playin' music on the front porch that had no electricity... But Ms, Mary, bless her heart, owned her home...

Lots of poor people in the south own their homes and are dirt poor... Dirt friggin poor so, yeah, if I want to twist stats around I can use these folks to paint a much different picure than the one that ***you*** would like to paint...

In most urban areas there are also a small number of poor who own homes, like in the rural south, that have been passed down to them... Problem is that these folks are loosing their homes to taxes and energy costs... There have been several articles about this in the Post over the last few years about the D.C. hosung situation...

I suspect this phenomina is true in most urban areas...

So, if it your position that our poor population has all this access to home buying, Dickey, please enlighten us with your sources... I never had one client in my days a social worker who would have even dreamed of buying a home...

I think this a ludicris argument that cannot be backed up with real evidence...

So remember the game "I Challenge"??? Well, I challenge...
