  • some folks will say, they drink or dope, but if there was little way to make a living wage with some dignity, im not so sure that anyone could fall in despair...why do we as a nation send millions-billions to iraq, israel, and afghanistan when americans here at home are having a tough time,,,,,why is that? Take back your own govt couch potatoes !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hasn't it always been this way though? The idea that everyone in the USA is rich is just carefully spun propaganda

  • There is a true God. He is love, and He calls us to be His hands and feet to help those in need here on Earth. But He is reaching out with love always. Just four things we can do to help poverty end... 1)Pray, God is wanting to pour out blessings when we ask. 2)Love all people. you never know how the ripple effect will help others. 3)Volunteer at a charity, donate time, talent, or treasure for those in need. 4)Encourage others to do the same. You must be the change you wish to see.~Gandhi

  • America could've payed for every homeless person to have a job, a house, and a car. Instead they payed off the rich bankers who already had mansions, jets, ferraris and gold toilets. If there is a god his name is satan.

  • @DphL0 Yes it should, not solely on financial merit per-say, but it's under the same category as "responsibility".  And I used to make minimum wage for years so I do know what it's like first-hand but my girlfriend and I also had common sense to know that we could not afford a child, despite very much wanting one. That's the thing about minimum wage...if you dont like the pay, either find another job or work your ass off to scale the "corporate ladder". Difficult but still very possible.

  • THEN WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO COME HERE?! I don't understand. As I write, thousands of people can't wait to hop the Mexican border..

  • @SpazChat lool mexico is more poor.....we live better in europe

  • @SpazChat , No, I meant to say USA border....I don't understand why they want to come to USA so bad. IT sucks here. You don't see Canadians hopping the USA border and fightin to get here.

  • first thing that comes to my mind is the blame game.

    my mind wants to blame the females in my life.

    my mind wants to blame myself.

    I've struggled for someone or something to blame.

    I've realised the proper party to blame here is America

    an America that failed me and my children.

    an America that gave me a fake ID , a fake education and a fake existance.

    I'm going to kill you Amerkia , sooner than latter.

  • wow look at the US soldires handing out food to the starving people in America 0:41 and the non us street at 0:48. And look at 0:54 these kids are not starving they have JOB's

    You can not add crazy people who are to coo-coo to come out of the cold and rain as being poor there are plenty of shelters for them - they choose to be out because they are nuts.

    let's see some real stuff.

    America haters are everywhere

  • I been in the US since birth and I never seen a homeless child. Runaways don't count in my book. Is this what you use for your statistics?

  • So I was just curious where in America all the graffiti on any wall would all be written in a forign language and alphabet ? ? ? click in to 0:49

    Maybe this is from IRAN

    and posted here by some America hater

  • Wow! do a project for your sociology class and cheat

    This is supposed to be about America but there are many photos of foreign countries contained in this video. Including Costa Rica and Iraq. Same on u

    Further the government puts the bottom 14% of the income earners into the poverty class irrespective of actual poverty or not. I am not saying there are not poor people but you need to know about the 14% line that is drawn. They pay no taxes. the top 10% pay 70% of the taxes

  • I know it's common to dis in-tact families, and secure kids, but in the end - if a child has good parents who actually COMMIT to each other and their children and nobody is a whack job - kids will certainly do better. I never met a child who didn't want two good parents - together. Out of the mouths of babes. It is the selfish, non-commital, cowards who put themselves first instead of their kids. How many kids suffer because some fool thinks the grass is greener on the other side?

  • some of these pic ant even from america..............

    with a country so big you will get ppl who are homeless, maybe they shud stopp bombing other countrys and concentrate at home

  • The worse I ever had is was when I was injured on the job on crutches and my wife decides she was not going to wait till I was healed kicked out. I was not prepared had no way to carry things and was caught unprepared. I was back on my feet working before I healed and had $5k in my pocket inside 2 mos. I cried a lot it was hard to face it all alone this world is cruel. Every person should have a plan JIC things don't go as planned be prepared to rough it have transportation other than the car.

  • Federal law allows you to have a motor on your bicycle as long as you can pedal it installed it yourself and HP is below 5. Reason I say this? I was HL and my greatest need was innexpensive reliable transportation the world revolves around these facts. I lived on the MS gulf coast pre gaming and back then when winter set in there were no jobs you better have a way to get where jobs were. I pitched a tent worked all week then biked home weekends was able to pay my bills keep my family fed.

  • Thanks to the Zionist Jews from NY who own everything!

  • racism is no way to solve this..lol it will only make things worse america is gonna be a hell hole if racism doesent stop it already is a hell hole u knw wat dnt even listen to me coz im a dum nigger right? but as long as i live america will burn in flames its going down im telling u u people need to open your eyes pull your head out of your asses and fix this stuff peacexxx

  • Its not America's fault. Get your ass a job. then you wont be hungry anymore

  • @TheBestTroller jobs don't pay shit

  • I made a video comment; you can view it by searching youtube videos under: Commenting on Poverty In America. I might have put quotes around Poverty in America.

  • Hi, I made a video in response to this video. My video is called: Commenting on "Poverty In America". If it's not listed here you can find it by searching youtube videos or looking it up under my screen-name. thanks

  • People shouldn't have to live like this in the US or in other countries. Face it, not many people care or are doing that much about poverty. And poverty isn't just the homeless although the homeless are at the lowest end of the poverty ladder. There are many poor people living below the poverty line that do have a roof over their head but can't make ends meet. Our government does do some things for the poor with it's help programs but only to a point. With the recession many people who

  • Can you imagine!

  • I Live in USA And All i can say is

    The American Government cheating the USA Residence by Telling them, You're the chosen nation and The rest of the world is poor and messed up when it is all start here

  • @TheShkoko some part of rest of the world has become much better than usa now !!

  • I am not anti US btw - opposite - but stupid thing about US is that 20% of your population live like they are living in a developing country (that's not the stupid part) and your government does little to help them as helping then, raising their living standards, giving them access to health care is seem as socialism which to Americans = communism = evil. Therefore helping poor people have a better life = evil. Stupid!!!!! In W Europe we try to raise the living standard of poorest more.

  • the problem with poverty is there is no way to make money out of it, if corporations figured out a way to make money out of it the streets would be empty, there would be no homelessness, greed.

  • You people who could careless about the homeless make me sick. Americans would rather spend money on military weapons and stupid fucken wars in the middle east to "liberate" people we know nothing about than spend taxes helping out Americans back home. Especially Americans like this! Wtf is the matter with us? So they don't pay taxes..ok so they deserve to live a life like this? Get over your self. Pay your taxes and SUCK IT UP. Go on welfare if it bothers you so much. Welfare prevents this!

  • @DarthPazuzu6 well indivisualism is apart of these crackers culture

  • what song is this?

  • If Israel asks for Iraq War that would cost $1.9 Trillion, then that's no big deal at all...

    When both Republicans and Democrats bow before the pagan deity of AIPAC, then that's simply patriotic!

    But when Americans ask, beg, plea, and die waiting for free health care or affordable college tuition, then Republicans and Democrats stall, argue, debate, and debate some more..

    As soon the Israel is injected into the political process, then suddenly both parties are in full agreement.

  • out of wedlock that term is so lame

    if violence in the home causes homelessness how would increasing marriage decrease poverty.

  • It doesn't. In fact marraige can cause poverty due to the amount weddings cost these days and the fact that many put weddings on credit cards. Then they buy a house and have a few kids.....

    And income numbers can be decieving. Say family A makes $10,000 one year and the other family B makes $15,000. Family B could splurge their money and live in poverty. Whereas family A could be living comfortably within their means. Low income doesn't always mean living in dire poverty.

  • cool video,

    what the name of this song???

    its sooooo good.

  • The Name of this Piece is "any other name" by Thomas Newman. It's from the American Beauty Soundtrack.

  • I have more respect for drug dealers than those who look out for free handouts.

  • it costs more in taxes to lock em up dumbass

  • Then don't look them up you idiot. Marijuana slangers don't even belong in prison next to rapists and murders, you douchebag.

  • "Each year, an additional 1.3 million children are born out of wedlock. Increasing marriage would reduce child poverty."....wtf that makes no sense what-so-ever. It's called people, you shouldn't fuckin have kids if you are not financially stable and responsible enough to have them...THAT would reduce poverty levels drastically.

  • That Quote i did not come up with. I agree with you, no one should have children unless there is financial stability, but being in an intact family has been evident in demonstrating that it can help prevent 'child' poverty.

  • so much poverty in the world's richest country ? is it really rich or just so-called?

  • that was so gay just people that dont want to do anything and looking for a hand out

  • What is the name of the song for this video?

  • where did you find those facts? coz i'm thinking of doing a project at school for it and i'd like to read more of those sort of facts...thanks.

  • I used facts from some of the books in the school's library and some websties.However, I can not recall what books or websties bc i made this like 3 years ago.

  • i think this is so sad. I always try to give if I can.

    i was walking one morning and saw to children walking. I gave each one a dollar. The smiled so big. I felt great.

  • if an illegal alien can make it bigger in america than a US citizen in "poverty" they should switch citizenship.

  • thus giving them what they want and bringing the U S down to their 3rd world country status. pay your taxes and stop living 20 to a one bedroom apartment. have some standards nigger!

  • What? My family are homeowners and not homeless and I'm a US citizen but know people that are illegal. They own homes pay ALL taxes fairly, they are better off than these Americans in poverty waiting for a handout or have dug themselves in that hole in the first place.

  • if you know illegals...why not turn them in to the authorities? or do you welcome those who live on your poverty and flourish from it? niggers like you are spreading a scourge on AMERICA. it's called SOCIALISM where the ones who work support the ones who do not!

  • BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTUALLY HELPING THE ECONOMY! they pay their taxes they don't take any form of welfare. They are not siphoning off money from the government like you imagine. it to be. oh yeah this would be my last response to you you seem to be just an ignorant racist that just calls everyone nigger. Your account will probably get deleted sooner or later. you disgust me you are not american no matter what u say or where u are born. you don't deserve this country a you should burn and die now!

  • Theres nothing wrong with living in an apartment. And you're the nigger, by the way.

  • you completely missed the point. are you an illiterate nigger?

  • my dear friend, i believe that the US could feed them, plus many other people from Africa, if they weren't spending so much on useles military development (500 billion per year to be exact).

  • Why show Will Smith in this Clip...the rich guys should help the others.......

  • Well, its one of my fav movies, and he does play "Chris Gardner" who was once homeless.

    + Will does a lot of charity work. He's a nice guy

  • Thank you for sharing this heartbreaking video. Pictures say a thousand words and maybe the message will be loud enough for people to hear. Our country is crying for help.

  • smash marxism! smash reds!

  • And the worst part is that, many! many! people WITH homes live with same problems as people without homes...

    And we all know the base source of that...

  • wow. i see arabic scripts on the walls. nice try. SMASH AMERIKA!!!

  • Most of the pictures are from America itself.

  • I hope you agree with me that greedy capitalists are worse than pigs!

  • ofcourse. amerikans are worse than pigs, cos they're all capitalist says my crosshairs. lol

  • Down with the dark rule of greedy capitlaists!

    Long live the working class and the socialist revolution!

    Long live Marxism!

  • lumpen. :D

  • look at the pictures. looks like its from the middle-east. look at the grafitti. lol

  • iron5stp, most of the pictures were FROM AMERICA! You cant deny it!

  • Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Homeless people have hopes and dreams like we do. Our family is very involved with helping the homeless and this was very touching. Our 9 has his own web site to support the homeless. You can buy hygiene bags to hand out to the homeless. It's a great way to feel guiltless in giving. .Guiltlessgiving.

  • Lets get some help to these people for god sake. They are our brothers and sisters just trying to survive the day. God bless all of you who have nothing with children to feed and keep warm. I pray you find relief and happieness the rest of your days.

  • Capitalism would be good if it'd walked together Democracy!

  • No, you are wrong, there can be no humane capitalism!

  • Capitalism = Poverty capitalism is a failed system.
