Poverty America

[enayray16]

The system is to blame! Your right on track and you care and that means so much! Thanks for doing what you do and thank God for the Freedom of Speech!

[JuNiOrMaKiNg123]

this man is one of the only guys ive seen on youtube to actually be right about basically everything he suggests, boy you use youtube really well :}. keep it up.

[chopchewey]

Why is everyone assuming this guy is saying that he himself lives in poverty? he obviously pays his bills.

[jadasmall]

I thought America was one of the richest countrys in the world, maybe you should go to some parts of africa and then you understand poverty, you got a roof over your head and shoes on your feet,

[jesseking50]

socialist

everything equal hu

do u really think that if u work hard all your life and pay off your house and what not that u should have to spend your hard earned money to support someone who are poor

if u work harder than the guy next to u at work do u think u should git equal pay

people who want to be socialist

are lazy they want to live off of other peoples hard work

welfare for enstance

hard working people gitting taxed to pay for the lazy

[EowynViktoria]

Life aint fair.. Gotta be strong and work hard, don't steal other people's money.. because everyone will end up lazy and stupid like the people in our ghettoes. Stop redistributing wealth, it has destroyed more countries and ended up with a natino of poor poeple. HOw come poor people in USA, have computers, cars, electricity, toilets.. I think you know iittle about poverty. I have been to africa and seen real poverty. People are violent because of culture and lack of morals. Find God.

[LoisJD]

Who is to say we all entitled? Who ever said everyone was meant to be rich?

As long as we have a roof over our head, food in our mouth, clothes on our back, we are rich.

I am not rich, nor poor. I do not envy people with money. The deadly sins of greed, envy, coveting thy neighbor gets people into trouble.

The richest people are those that have people that love them, a family, friends.

The last 50 years, the ethnic groups have had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

keep wishing for your dent

I lived in France for 5 years they don't blacks or north Africans and they don't hide there racism or uneqaulity I am in Europe now and believe me shit here is worse than back home in Portugal the minimum salary is 600 dollars a MONTh that's right try rasing kids off of that.

[Euthanizednigga666]

I'm moving to France because they truly believe that every citizen should have an equal chance to better his/her self. Not only do they provide their people with free universal health care (best in the world), but education is free. No one should have to endure the tortures of the damned to attain a college education, like they often do in the plutocratic United States. U.S. serves striclty the wealthy, and it makes me sick! They are the most powerful, because they exploit and abuse the most.

[mattussr]

france???

how do they pay for all that "free" stuff? taxes! lots and lots of taxes!

america does have problems, we cut deals for big buisness, we give free welfare to those who do not earn it, our government spends more than it takes in, and then tries to take more from us. or print more money and decrease our dollar value.

were building a socialist society on a capitalist budget, it doesnt work. it has to go one way or the other. socialism always fails so.... i vote capitalism.

[Euthanizednigga666]

I don't mind paying more taxes mofo if it's used towards the common good(Universal health,education..) as opposed to warmongering,corporate welfare,etc. I used to work as a tech for Verizon for 5 years and made 50 grand plus! And still, I believed in all issues I stated above, all the same...I'm not one with fickle American beliefs. I was born in Puerto Rico but my parents were born in Spain. Puerto Rico never wanted to be capitalist or be part of the U.S...Hence we got smart and rebelled back!

[mattussr]

yes, but even these feel good processes are overly cumbersome, ineffective, and a drain. why is this? its not because its a bad idea, its because everything the feds touch turns into shit. free market and free people will make it afforable. we dont need their help, we need them to get out of the way.

we need to get the FDA and the Feds out of the drug companies pocket.

corruption and greed. a socialist on a capitalist budget, that is what america has turned into.

[AcousticMocha]

Certainly true. Thank you.

[snugglylovemuffin]

socialism leads to dicatatorship which leads to totalitarianism. read Animal Farm it will tell you what you need to know about politics meeting the people and vice versa.

as you mentioned poverty does contribute to delinquency and pressure to live better. understand the standard of living. if the standard is set by the area someone might be doing well. but the standard is set by marketing and the media, so if people in poverty stricken areas see huge houses what are they going to think?

[mikesholler27]

to true very sad but true. we (america) keep blaming the pepole in power what' ive noticed is a ton of these pepole DO NOT want eqaul rights for every one they want eqaul rights for the poverty and no one else. they want the roles to switch and stay that way. i swere pepole are and can be so eveil so eveil they don't even relize it. for as im concenred were not ready for a better woulrd we need to try and make it though ya know work on self first

[mattussr]

stop spending money we dont have!

stop welfare and bailouts!

stop getting entangled in foreign affairs unless they are a direct threat to us!

it goes back to the old saying, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

giving less fortunate people money isnt right, providing them with opportunity is. giving a buisness a reward for making stupid mistakes and wasting money is also wrong.

sometimes you have to cut old trees down so new ones can grow.

[JCL1AF]

I'm not trying to put anyone down, and I agree with songlessnightingale about the morale issue. However, nothing will change unless and until you stop feeling sorry for yourself and go out there and get your piece of the pie. I know because that's how I did it. Good luck to everyone, I hope to see you all at the top.

[mattussr]

+1

we are all equal, and through hard work and smart choices you can rise to the top. with stupidity and laziness you sink to the bottom. giving a person or a buisness free money hurts them more than it helps. it encourages destructive choices and lazy attitudes.

living within your mean is something we can all learn from, especially our government. people need to control their urges for instant gratification and greed. if you do not you will never be happy.

[JCL1AF]

Not everyone can be equal. You want something? work for it. Stop thinking the world owes you something. Stop making excuses.

I grew up dirt poor. I made the right choices, got some education, got a good job. Now I don't have to worry about bills, I drive two nice sports cars, and have thousands of dollars every month to do whatever the hell I want with. I'm not rich but I live within my means and I'm always trying to get to the next step up.

[JCL1AF]

There is no other country in the world that gives people the chance to make it like America. If you are poor you may have to work twice as hard as the next guy but you CAN make it.

Poverty is no excuse for turning to crime. If poor people were stealing food that would be one thing, but they are robbing and killing people for bling and plasma TVs and drugs. There is absolutely no excuse for that. None.

(continued)

[songlessnightingale]

this is a good subject that you brought up and you were right to say that poverty does affect the confidence and morale af a human being, thus pushing them to do drastic mesures, to which leads to crime, disorder and murder.

[Rosalila247]

And oh yea there is definitely a correlation between crime and poverty. High crime rates are generally based on social status. Not race like some bastards like to assume.

[Rosalila247]

i'D RON IT!
