Poverty

For their situation, I think the Bryants have a very positive attitude. After being switched from middle-class to poverty-level, they seem to be handling it well. I think they're doing everything correctly given that they are still on the lookout for other, higher-paying jobs. I also think it's kind of amusing how the article references the Occupy protests. They say there is the 1% and the 99%. I think many people fail to realize that just because there is a highest-earning 1%, does not mean that the people that don't fall into that group are automatically part of the remaining percentage. The Bryants are a prime example, seeing as how they are poverty-stricken and don't even have time to participate in the protests because they are too busy making due with what they can find and scavenge.
