Poor being they have an iPhone 5 and their DVD player doesn’t play Blu Ray.The United States of America is the richest country in the world and yet we have poor people.

The fact that 80% of American Workers live paycheck to paycheck.
Some American Workers have to have a second or third job to make ends meet.
Or the immoral lie of employers can't afford to pay a living wage.
The fact is that most of those people don't HAVE to live paycheck to paycheck. That's largely a result of life choices, not any sort of unconquerable "poverty" by any sane definition of the word.
"Some people have extra jobs! Oh, the horror!!" The REAL poor in the world can't get jobs at all, and you want us to sob over those who live under an economy with such plentiful work available that they can find two jobs, because it's such an "awful" thing to labor to improve your life? What language are you even speaking?
"It's immoral that employers don't treat workers like helpless children!" You're really going to talk about "not paying a living wage" - which always seems to mean "give me enough money to have whatever I want, just because I exist" in a conversation about people for whom starvation is a major cause of death? Your idea of "not even a living wage" is their idea of luxury, which is rather the point.
It becomes increasingly obvious that the main reason you hate America is because you're so ignorant about everything outside of America that you have no perspective to work with.
It's immoral that employers don't pay their workers "the people that make the company ALL of their money" a living wage.
The government shutdown spotlights a bigger issue: 78% of US workers live paycheck to paycheck
Quit bashing the American Worker, commie......
If anything is immoral, it's the American consumer who won't buy the products of the company paying their workers a living wage. Whatever the F that is.
See all those people at Walmart? How many of those shoppers do you suppose give a rats ass about what the workers that produce their products make?
