Many of that 1/2 the population that makes under $26K actually
work two full time jobs. The working poor here is something all
americans should be ashamed about. The worst of all are the
working single mothers 80+% of whom are making less than median
income.
But the Republicans (the "compassionate conservatives") will tell you that it's because they're all just lazy.
