    Man, I ain't poor. Look, I give away things to the Salvation Army; you can't give away nothin' to Salvation Army if you poor. 8 years 4 months ago

    A great movie about the condition of the poor, and a man with a conscious trying to get ahead. Very realistic story line. Makes you want to be a vegetarian after watching it. 7 years 7 months ago
