It takes money to make money -- You get what you pay for -- You can't pay a doctor in chickens anymore -- I'm not angry so much as I'm really tired -- I've got way bigger problems than a spinach salad can solve -- This part is about sex -- We do not have babies for welfare money -- Poverty is fucking expensive -- Being poor isn't a crime -- it just feels like it -- An open letter to rich people.;-- New York Times We in America have certain ideas of what it means to be poor. Linda Tirado, in her signature brutally honest yet personable voice, takes all of these preconceived notions and smashes them to bits. She articulates not only what it is to be working poor in America (yes, you can be poor and live in a house and have a job, even two), but what poverty is truly like?on all levels.?Frankly and boldly, Tirado discusses openly how she went from lower-middle class, to sometimes middle class, to poor and everything in between, and in doing so reveals why "poor people don?t always behave the way middle-class America thinks they should."
