The Poor are Spoiled? Really?

I heard someone complain that "poor" people had satellite dishes, flat screen tvs, refrigerators, air conditioners and microwaves. They felt this was inappropriate. But we live in an information age in which you really, really need access; refrigerators keep your food from rotting; air conditioners in cement block inner city blocks that have no shade and no air circulation in 100F+ weather do not sound like a luxury to me and microwaves come in real handy and you can get them pretty damn cheap. I just can't bring myself to resent "poor" people for having what I consider the most basic necessities for any level of comfort for myself.
