Proud Poor Folks

  I just checked out an article (actually a picture and a comment)  and the responses of the readers.  It seems like many people are proud of their ingenuity in accomplishing things when they were poor.  That's called redneck ingenuity..   It seems though that some of the respondents were older now and still poor and proud of it but judging from their lack of ability to spell or other compose a sentence or express a coherent thought, I just can't imagine why they are still poor.
