No problem.Sorry. Got you mixed up with rdeanFYI - I haven't posted any sources on the subject.Why would they? It's just like global warming. What advocacy group do you know that hates money? And I posted an article that exposed how they came up with that bullshit 1 in 5 figure which you didn't seem to care about so why would anyone care about your sources?The ones that put out the report would probably appreciate it if you would contact them and correct them on their mistake. I'm sure they would listen to you and edit their findings to reflect your knowledge of the situation..... just saying ....Sonny "Fuckin'" Clark, most poverty is the result of poor personal choices, like drugs, dropping out of school, getting pregnant, and so on.They are not hard to find. Many areas of the country have poor neighborhoods, unemployed parents, disabled parents, and very little to eat. Have you ever heard of the people that live in the Appalachian Mountains? A little research will reveal poor and depressed areas all across this nation. You may not see them with your own eyes, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.
Also, entire families are homeless, living in tent cities, and some even eating out of trash cans. It wasn't that long ago that many food pantries had empty shelves. Have you even seen the crowds that gather when churches hand out donated food? Have you even seen little kids panhandling outside grocery stores? Have you ever heard of community food drives that gather can goods for needy families? Have you ever heard of kids getting their only meals during the day while at school?
Believe me, the poor do exist, and their numbers are growing as we speak. A little research may open your eyes to the poverty in this country.
Today's poor suffer from obesity, not starvation.
