Not all the people are poor because of what happened to them they are poor because that is there choice. Just as it is the choice to be rich as some would say. It is lifes choices that put us where we are. And we have the choice to change. A good number of the poor are adicted to drugs of some sort or alcohol it may not be an easy thing to over come but then again life is not easy either.

Anyhow we as Americans have stood back for far to long and have become vitums of the politcal systm in this country. It is both the right and the left republican and demicrate it does not discriminate. We have both parisites from the top and from the bottom. It is the working class thouse in the middle that are paying the most and have the most to lose. When the middle class start to become homeless then we are really in for some trouble. And I don't think that is to far fetched
