Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Sorry, I don't want to dis-respect anyone's efforts to aid the poor, even though it seems some people may think that's what Ive done. It's just that everyone talks a lot about solving poverty but where is the action ? Kudos to anyone who helps, the rest is just lip-servie, imo. By the way, among other things, for 15 years I supplied low-cost rooms for rent for many people on welfare (who barely get enough to live on here), and people making minimum wage and students struggling to get an education. During that time I made next to no actual profit, and had more headaches than many of you will have in a lifetime. I know it's not much compared to Janie and others, but it's still something. I really don't want to turn this thread into 'what have you done for me lately'.
