The "underprivileged" folks in my area have the luxury of free cable, free cellphones/service, and of course foodstamps/housing. I'm starting to think I am in the wrong tax bracket?

Ah, yes.
"Free".
Keep people distracted with the latest source of flickering lights, while feeding them a constant stream of advertising in an attempt to syphon from them their earnings.
The distraction often prevents people from spending time doing other things which might be economically beneficial.
The advertising, over time, will convince them to spend money unwisely.
Combined, this inhibits the accumulation of household capital.
Habits among the young become hard-wired.
Free?
More like stealth oppression.

I've always thought a campaign slogan of "Same we can believe in" would've been more appropriate for the Obama campaign. The word "change" lacks that air of... legitimacy.

Far too many chose the blue pill.
Glad I chose the red pill.

Why not just get a job and pay for it, like the taxpayers do?
How many lazy sons of bitches do we have to carry?

When I was growing up we couldn't afford the internet so I walked to the public library. Maybe she should have recommended that? It could help with the obesity problem too.

Wow, that makes me feel old!
That woman has some serious issues. I wonder what qualifications she possesses for the position she fills?
Her "used shoes that didn't fit" story filled me with rage. Rage at her, not at her supposed'villain'!

In practice, this is cruel.
Providing too much for people just teaches them to be dependent.
Have a couple close friends who grew up very poor.
Neither one had running water consistently until about age 14.
They learned self-reliance.
Both now earn compensation packages well into 6 figures per year.
This is the land of opportunity, not guaranteed outcomes.
Self-reliance is a prerequisite of freedom, economic and otherwise.

She and Michelle Obama have great disrespect for the same nation?

Looking beyond the race issue, providing computers and free internet for every grade school aged American child is a no-brainer.
Otherwise, we'd best begin mandatory classes in Mandarin and Hindu; starting in kindergarden.
Tell me I am wrong....
