Poverty in America

I am sorry but I can’t find any. I really can’t.

Take Africa, a place where there are people who live outside most of their lives and only own their clothes and a few other possessions.

Or Rio, where there is a whole city within a city made up of impoverished people who barely eat let alone make any money to live more than an animals.

Nope I still can’t find it here.

I been all over the place we call America and I don’t see it.

Instead I see how we define the poor as people without cell phones or cars. Where if I was on welfare, I can get beer, snack food and other luxuries that real poor people can’t even imagine.

I see one thing that makes the poor better off than a lot of middle class people, they have an income. It seems odd to say this but for 6 years we have been recovering from a horrible job loss and we have to deal with a lack of access to programs because we either make too much money or actually don’t have the need according to some who are there to judge us.
