@theHOUNDSofDOOM I couldn't agree more. At least these people - education or no education - are honest decent hardworking folk unlike the bloodsucking, soul destroying fuckers on Wall St.

Hate to be rude but I'd call the cops if I saw Edgar lurking around in my property.

You know...money isn't everything, there's something beautiful about the way these people are. They're happy as they are and do what they can to survive. Can any of you say the same if you were stricken with poverty?

Jesus Christ these people need to be exterminated..lol

Yes they do get some assistance but that doesn't make them rich. Most likely Iree saved the money out of her check because other than land taxes and her electric bill their expenses is minimal. They raise and grow most of their food. Most of their homes are shacks.

I actually don't think the family is unfriendly. Most likely when people like this in isolated areas they become distrustful of strangers. They stick with their own families.

These people are not that poor. There are plenty of people much worse off than these people (myself included). Their houses are actually quite nice inside. And their property is gorgeous. They also get welfare checks. When they need $500.00 for bail granny goes into the other room and grabs $500.00 cash I dont even have that in the bank. Also they are not nice people as depicted. Watch all the episodes they are trash. Check out the hillbillies in New England if you want to see some Good Folks

My Dad was raised this way in Southeastern Ohio. He lived in similar circumstances until he moved away in 1958. They raised their own animals for meat, hunted and grew their own vegetables. These aren't lazy people!

@cgailfugate You are right,I agree with you,and I'm Mexican.My respects for the hard working people from any etnic group.

Hmm...they can depict Eastern KY folk as stupid & ignorant living in poverty...but why do we never see documentaries of Hispanics living similar in West Texas & S. Houston?? Guess that wouldn't be "politically" correct. Every culture has its toxic & hard working families. I am proud to be from Eastern KY & have seen people living the hard life both there & in Houston.
