Remember your lard sandwiches? So while I feel some of the video was distasteful...I understand the proud part. And you can still find people out there who feel like that.
I don't knock people down for being poor or uneducated. Sometimes what they say makes more sense than a college professor's class. And money doesn't sway them from the truth.

We had "dripping" sandwiches from the lard and jelly that formed on the pork roast pan and frankly they were delicious.
So how come you and me managed to get educated, we went through that same depression.
We also did not take any handouts.
Mum's comment at dinnertime was "If you don't eat it now you will get it for lunch tomorrow."
