  • all obama focuses on is wars

  • Vote for Ron Paul for 2012, and stopping voting in puppets from the both sides of the same coin. Wake Up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am a single mother .. I know the suffering of one person alone to support a family; to appeal to everyone to stand up and help poor families ... ~ you do not know when it will need help.

  • I'm really sick of reading ignorant comments like "stop having so many kids" or "its your own fault." Yes, there are some who have made mistakes and ended up in this condition, but for a vast majority, it was circumstances beyond control, or misleading information fed us by our system like 'put it on credit,' 'its okay to have debt, everyone else does' then you build a life around these simple ideas everyone has heard, and then you get laid off because your company decides to outsource.

  • RON PAUL is the only solution in 2012 Give him a landslide victory for goodness sake. I haven't prayed for years but for Ron Paul I pray Americans will finally wake up to what is good for them.

  • how I can feed my kids *cry* you should think about gettin so many children only if you know that you CAN feed them . and find or have a good father for them. why dont you give one of your ´children to the father? one problem less. and so the father has also a reason to move his ass.

  • I Bet MONIQUE Voted Obama!! I wonder where the baby daddy is!!

  • @savgal1211 And I bet you're a know-nothing Fox News Tea Partier. I wonder where your high school diploma is!!

  • I Laugh at the mornons with CAR Payments, Me? I drive a 13 yr old car I take care of, and we make great salaries in my household, we do not use credit, ever! Mortgage is done and , i fyou saw how frugal we are, you would think we had nothing! THAT i show you get wealth, save!! You save in Silver and Gold, you do not tak eout college loans, you buy USED an donly when you must!! Most of these people, I bet you, had/have car pmnts, they used their house as an ATM, lived beyond their means!

  • Store food, your grandma did!!Stop downloading kids you can't afford, people!!

  • instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me - Tupac Shakur

  • You know, if these organizations that want us to donate to Africa and such should shift visions to THEIR OWN PEOPLE! Take care of home before we can take care of other countries. Also stop giving money to other countries to try and make friends!

  • I can't believe this is America now! Wow smh that's sad... And we have people being racist, Washington continuing to play games between parties, worrying about social rights at such horrible times when things like health care or poverty need our attention, and the country is moving farther away from the bible year by year... I think it's just about safe to say the end is near. Sure feels like it

  • Long-haired sandle-wearing maggot-infested hippy! The "great depression" was a long endless strinng of up and down recessions created by massive government regulation and taxation. it was created by FDR to enslave the american worker to government and create an environment for his eternal reelection...nothing more. No middle class? That's totally ridiculous....for 1 thing I don't think we even tracked things like that before WW2. Second, what about the 1920s--average person lived rather well

  • if i am ignorant and psychopathic, then please explain to me why, if we have so much poverty, do we need illegal workers do jobs that americans wont do? business people complain bitterly that they cant find americans who are willing to do jobs that are entry level or the least bit dirty, regardless of how much they pay.

  • THERE IS NO POVERTY IN AMERICA!

    PROOF: WE NEED ILLEGAL ALIENS TO DO JOBS AMERICANS WONT DO! so sorry, anyone in poverty is just too lazy to work.

  • @carryclass

    what ignorant psychopathic view

  • 2.50 onwards, I thought I am looking at Zimbabwe or Nigeria something. An American Nightmare comes true.

  • Comment removed

  • GET YOURSELF TO PRISON FREE FOOD

  • @enzojatt786

    That is because the taxpayer is paying for the food.

  • AND THE FED AND THE BANKING SYSTEM!!!

  • @MadlibIsBlunted You are an idiot, most of these people aren't even on welfare. The economic downturn is what caused this. You better hope you don't lose your job you scumbag.

  • Ironic that they showed a McDonalds commercial before it begins.. as the hyped voice announcer reads the fake stats... as he says millions have similar concerns...concerns?

    Mother fucker starvation goes beyond a concern.. 15% of Americans are impoverished, more than any other industrialized nation in the world.. including Mexico..

    Just a matter of time until people start taking swings at people in BMW's and Mercedes..

    Middle Class poverty will turn violent...

  • lol i thought i saw gadaffi 3:17 in the back ground

  • Overpopulation 

  • Liberals invented the poverty level and they can set it wherever they want. I feel no sympathy for someone making 25k a year with a family of four. They'll be fine if they cancelled all the extra crap they think they need - TV, cell, restaurants, and so on. NO SYMPATHY!!! Obama bin laden is Jimmy Carter II and as big a commie as FDR...That's for sure! He's keeping people poor on purpose and using class warfare as the excuse.

  • @japierce15 No DUMBASS, Liberals and their policies CREATED the middle class after WWII. Before that there WAS a Great Depression CAUSED by the RICH elite and the wealthy ROBBER BARONS of the Guilded Age. There was NO middle class before WWII.

  • Look at the bright side, we can always eat ketchup packet's at Mc'y D'z!

  • no one wants to hear god can help because we have chosen our way when we had god things were peaceful now people yell at the government to do it all thats lazy u wouldn't starve if god was your source u wouldn't starve if u knew about growing a garden or knew how to fish or hunt our fore fathers lived off the earth w

  • @ElectricElohim..the government has regulated hunting and fishing so it's not even worth the license, gas, bullets anymore. Growing a garden might even be a waste of time since they can come and take your property any time they want as well.

  • @ButteWhat but that is the issue u expect the government to solve all your problems then they do and u get jerked over change starts w in the communities the government cant help u cause they don't live in your communities u have an issue u yell at obama getting true information out is the key if u keep kicking the door and they aren't letting u in then u figure it out on your own w others around thats what the founders of this country the did issues we face they did to but u whine they fight

  • Bankers and Republicans are destroying America :(

  • the political parties have abused the government by tilting the playing field in order to try to capture and hold hostage voters by economic means. by making some dependent upon the govt, and providing economic incentives divisive to families, and by trying to employ and hold hostage by union and other means so many captive govt workers. it is untenable, immoral and they cannot quit doing it. a generation without principle other than self-interest. we'll bounce back only after their full failure

  • i bet there are some people somewhere on this planet that would LOVE to be in a place where they can go get free food. They wouldn't be crying. They would be rejoicing.

  • @fight2Bfree your point?

  • Conservatives in America the the MOST Neanderthalic proto-humans on the planet and NEEDS to be extinct, including their sub-species of Baggers, gun toting rednecks and booze guzzling white crackers who don't have enough compassion or empathy to fill a shot glass as a whole. The RICH elite stealing everything NOT nailed down and the ignorant uneducated morons who support them NEEDS to go.

  • @the60sKid typical liberal, lots of name calling and no solutions...yup, im a gun owner so im an ignorant red neck, and since i have a little money i must have stolen it, on top of that i must have stolen it from a poor person, i didnt finish high school so i must be an ignorant moron, you must think that black people who drive BMW's are drug dealers, oh and all gay men must be child molesters too. and all union members are lazy and manipulate work rules.

  • @carryclass No, just STUPID hayseed rednecks with their guns and bibles like you ARE THE PROBLEM with this country. Sooner your kind die off the better.

  • @the60sKid damn right, the sooner my kind die off the better, then we wont have any more: law abiding citizens, people who earn an honest living, take responsibility for their own actions, people who dont blame other people for their problems, etc, etc.

  • @the60sKid Great comment

  • Hard to believe, looks like this news is broadcasted by a North Korean TV channel the way we used to portray their plight during the famine there. Also judging by the 900 odd bases we have all over the world, no outsiders would second guessed that life here is next best thing to paradise with wines simply oozing out from underneath the ground and grapes tickling our noses.

  • You dumb cunts voted for the wrong guy.....USA needs a wake up call....just print some more money and you will be ok...Go USA Go...down down, deeper down...bet you wish you didnt buy all those things on credit now ay?...live beyond ya means USA and see what happens....time for a re vote....

  • What you're seeing now is the republican / conservative wet dream. Just think, right now there's FOX news who constantly advocates for the rich. They would actually have you feel sorry for the most wealthy people on earth. On the conservative media, only the corporate Tea Party is worthy of coverage.

  • Stop having babies you can not support

  • the people need to get off their ass, and get a fucking job.

  • @MoldytoasterMedia What part of the US do you live in?

  • @returnedfavor Pittsburgh, PA

  • @MoldytoasterMedia

    They are trying, there just aren't enough jobs with so many being outsourced.

  • @AirForceGirl05 outsourcing is good for the world, it gives jobs to the people who need it the most.

  • @MoldytoasterMedia

    Yes, outsourcing is good but as long as our people are happy and fed FIRST. To be honest I hate this world. Every person on this earth (not just the US) deserves a happy life... I hate capitalism.

  • @MoldytoasterMedia Depends cause the 300 people who wanted to commit suicide would say otherwise with their what 16 hour work schedules and surrounded by dudes with guns and apparently cant leave XD ya i'd love to work there..... dipshit

  • @IGattsI what are you talking about?

  • @MoldytoasterMedia well you're an uninformed person aren't ya.... Apples Sub-company basically has a sweatshop in china where they work like long ass shifts with low pay bars on windows and guards with guns around with horrible conditions XD enjoy your cell phones it was created by a slave basically :)

  • @IGattsI i don't own a cell phone.

    So you're saying you would rather those people have no job, than a bad job?

  • @MoldytoasterMedia I'd say People are hypocrites and business in general is the same as 50 60 years ago just business took their shitty low paying jobs to other countries to abuse the plight of the people in said country so whatever people suck period XD We're not Moral beings period retarded ass faggots need to all die frankly and move on to the next failed experiment on this planet.

  • @IGattsI yep, they're all hypocrites....

    So I guess you don't own, a computer, cell phone, game system, tv, or anything assembled under poor working conditions?

  • @MoldytoasterMedia /shrug i got my computer from Newegg in California by some some iBuypower company as far as i know they're a local business in that state I has a cell phone too XD but than again is cause my family makes me have it /shrug I like my computerz cause i hate people and in general people suck so thanks for playing you live you die thats it there is nothing special about you or any of us to think other wise is just your ego attempting to make you significant

  • @IGattsI some computers are assembled in the USA. But the parts inside of the computers are not made in the USA.

  • @IGattsI man i be trying to tell people the same thing, but they think you are crazy....alot of people don't know that most of you electronic good come from africa where mostly people are dieing to keep there resources...google coltan...apple,LG,SONY,DELL,an­d alot of other distributer reep the benefits mostly asia though

  • Those number will reach all-time highs if we don't do anything about it.

  • If you turn the richest country in the world in to a poverty stricken country, should at least somebody by fire.

  • @rollingcan I really don't think Bush or Obama are to blame for this, i think it's because advances in technology take away millions of jobs. Which is good and bad, the bad is less jobs. Less jobs naturally creates a bigger divide between the rich and the poor.

  • you people are reaping the rewards of your deeds...bomb this bomb that bomb you

  • @creedstat You sir are blind. You say our deeds? Can't you tell the gov. of the U.S... is out of control and nuts are

    at the wheel? I despise all the murders that have been committed by ALL nations. Even yours sir. So before you

    point a finger, its best to look in your own back yard for trash, before pointing at your neighbors yard.

  • @1964Calypso yes I can tell the Us gov. is out of control and nuts...then I also see an armed public doing didlly squat to stop them.....I'm Canadian and a girl....we are a peaceful or were a peaceful nation until we got suckered in to NATO and NAFTA which are treasonous and barbaric .....america is finished all she has left is war and terror...it's sad but you guys fell for the lies that brought you to this place americas been sold to the highest bidder and we refuse to go down with you!!

  • @creedstat Oh yes, sorry, I forgot to tell you....It's not just America that's going to go down.... Its coming to

    a town near you very soon. So when everyone yells....yea....bad America is going into the toilet....lol Well, I'm

    sorry it's just not America that's twirling down the ol' toilet right now, its every nation. Soon the One World Order will

    be the only turd in the toilet.

  • @1964Calypso So China and India economies are also going down the toilet, i don't think so...

  • @creedstat Dude cry some more....

  • you people are reaping the rewards of your deeds...bomb this bomb that bomb you

  • what the fuk is our govt doing? assholes approve the jobs bill lets start doing something ppl are hurting out here..

  • Uwedolisdi I yu quu... :(

  • Your nice representatives sold you out to India, China..................... We make nothing any longer but these politicians never miss a benefit! :( so sad!

  • i'm sure if they were REALLY unhappy they do something about it instead of just watching fox news and complaining.

  • Poor people are suppose to be POOR. Stop bitching, get off drugs, stop making babies you can't afford to take care of and stop killing each other in the ghettos, trailer parks, or where ever your from and you bastards would have money, simple logic.

  • Eventually Americans will learn that the cause of their misery are these two things:

    (1) FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that borrows & spends to buy their votes with the promise of new benefits & socialism, and simultaneously drives business out of the country with punitive taxation and onerous regulation

    (2) FEDERAL RESERVE that prints money to enrich the banks under the guise of "stimulating" the economy

  • Heard congress was considering giving themselves another raise a couple weeks ago as if $174,000 a year isn't enough.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow its gonna get a whole lot worse people, be prepared ! Unfortunately the "leaders" of your country don't give a shit about you, only about their own pockets !

  • They are really trying to get in people's head. All for the election I'm telling you!!

  • Welcome to the hood

  • Damn white people we been doing it for 450 years

  • Cool... Keep bombing innocent countries and occupying them.... & this will continue to happen to you... Its called karma .... Go to hell you murdering imperialist bastards!

  • To those who are blaming President Obama for this, you all need to take a hard look at things ..because this is the result of years in the making. Obama took on a already broken country and you cannot expect him to change everything over night... and he said that this could take more than one term. I would suggest that you all take a look at what was done during the previous administration before blaming this new.

  • @andres1963 your hair smells like obama's asshole. ronald reagan as able to fix carter's damage in two years. sorry to say that obama either is deliberately ruining this country or he is that enfeebled of a leader. there's no other way about it, he's either a piece of shit marxist or a shitty leader.

  • "I would suggest that you all take a look at what was done during the previous administration before blaming this new. "

    You know what I would suggest? I suggest taking a hard look at what THIS administration has done, which is absolutely NOTHING except start more wars, alienate out allies, play golf, take vacations and eat lobster, give away half a billion dollars in tax payer money to some loser quack green science company, solyndra

  • @illuminatioracle too true. The Obama administration is the same as the Bush administration. The way things look now, it won't matter who gets elected because all of the frontrunner candidates are the same..

  • @illuminatioracle They are just two side of the same damn coin. One is fucking us from behind and the other is fucking us in the face! We are being raped by both sides. As one pulls out the other in going in!

  • @friedstuffable No , Paris is shitty everywhere and esp right in the middle of it.

    The people In abandoned places in Detroit should leave them. for the ones with jobs and services.

    It's like choosing to live in the wilderness and complaining their is no electricity .

    So the blocks are abandoned , okay, that means no people , no jobs and no reason to linger

  • What is considered to be "poor" in America is rich in almost all other countries.

    Rarely does a european 25 year old have their own home, car, big screen tv, cable, internet, mulitple computers, cell phone for every person in the house.

  • @friedstuffable You obviously have not been to Paris. The dirtiest most disgusting city I have ever seen.

    Both Paris and Detriot are run by union supporting liberals

  • all I see are babies babies babies..please stop producing mouths you cannot feed. I think the first stop is checking yourself out and seeing you are part of the problem..the government ISN't here to take care of you..so get up and collect cans if need be...

  • They are all fat ...........How can they  be poor and still fat as can be?

  • @2002lees cheap food is the worse for your body... you expect people to look like sick dogs?? it doesnt work the same way idiot

  • @2002lees Unfortunately cheap food = processed, unhealthy food

  • And the rich cry class warfare against them...damn.

  • How about those protesters occupying Wall Street, huh?  You love to spread the misey but won't breathe a word about the protesters who are AWaKE and standing against this kind of crap.

  • oh one in six lives in poverty? damn. they really need moar mexican immigrants to fix all their problems. disagree and you are the white racist nazi ;P lol

    same with europe. only badly educated low iq third world immigrants can fix all our evil white racist problems

  • @happosai27 actually the rate of immigration in particular illegal immigration has gone down because of unemployment

  • lingering recession?

  • @lilice1907 more like depression. It's only going to get worse. The Federal reserve can't keep printing more money. They're just devaluing the dollar......It's going to get a lot worse

  • You haven't seen nothing yet..

    If you live in a well populated you are safe and the ol government folks will take care of you when the "Big Shit" hits the fan. Thats why wise men live far away in the mountains and wait

  • what an uplifting video! not depressing at all...

  • If you have a back yard, consider growing your own food.

  • I want to point out that to compare the suffering,struggling that go along with the lower economic classes in 1st world countries to the horrendous misery of extreme poverty in 3rd world countries is not a fair way to assess the circumstances within totally different context - It is most often just an easy way to dismiss & invalidate real problems either out of callousness, or as a strategy to influence people's opinions in order to protect wealth & class-

  • For the love of God people Vote for Ron Paul so we can actually fix this economy Keynesian economics have been failing us long enough.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • Just out of curiosity... What city do you think will be placed under marshall law first? Believe its coming to a town near you.

  • its only going to get worse....but tbh this is not poverty....lets see them wearing rags and searching through land fills...thats how real poverty is....

  • @lumpfish99 It's illegal to scrounge in landfills, dumpsters and trashbags for things or food. That's how they get the poor who aren't drug addicts into the criminal justice system.

  • Comment removed

  • i blame obama

  • Companies caused this problem. Big government didn't cause this problem. The country of China didn't cause this problem. President Obama didn't cause this problem. And those whining children in the Tea Party blowing tax payer money talking about big issues that they're not competent enough to solve aren't at fault either. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, the real string pullers are legacy millionaires on Wall street. Follow the money and you'll find the root of the problem.

  • @TheBigNext yes they have they been lying about budget this and budget that but they still building everywhere

    especially the ones in the treasures department taking money hum living rich off what they took.

  • Between company bail outs, stock market golden parachutes, and insurance institutions having to pay out from recent weather disasters. The state of the economy is in the controlling factor of business, not the consumer or government. There are politicians who dip into the cookie jar more than anyone wants to hear about, but its a red herring in this situation. Hikes in prices are the fault of conglomerate companies who have their investment portfolio in multiple fields of interest.

  • They say the unemployment rate is 9.1%. Bullshit. That doesn't reflect the number of people who gave up looking for work, are working under the table, are working part time, are working min wage after losing their job. Anyone could lose their job these days. I hate living in this fear.

  • God be with us all Americans right now....united we stand divided we fall....and I do pray hinges get better...it also makes me upset that all those celebrities support and help people in other countries but as you can clearly see... We Americans are suffering just as badly if not worse!!!

  • thanks god I'm not lining in U.S

  • And it's going to get much worse especially if Obama is re-elected

    Destroying companies and jobs is HIS primary agenda even tho HE'll look one in the face and say the opposite with HIS political class warfare actions

  • The word 'poverty' is being hijacked. It's used to describe $22,000 per year and food banks. They even say they're 'living like the third world'. Wow...if only they were....

  • The end is near

  • thank the GOP for keeping poor down & protecting the greedy banker & corporations from taxes and any jail time. When the bible talks about the burning bush it really meant Gorge Bush burning America like a OLD Texas BBQ!

  • USA Poverty, most people wish they could be in this kind of poverty.

  • Thanks George W. Bush :) and Obama too

  • THAT SOLVES THE DAMN PROBLEM!

  • STOP HAVING SO MANY FUCKING KIDS YOU SELFISH PIGS

  • @XforeverlongingX shut up

  • @JaceFalcon why shut up? what was incorrect or inaccurate about what I wrote?

  • What's poverty in the US? Having less than 5 tvs, owning less than 3 cars & just 1 Xbox?

    I recall seeing one of these US poverty videos while I lived in Kenya. It gave everyone a good laugh.

  • its the corporations fault

  • Uhmm...Solutions? I got one for you. End all unnecessary trade with China. We really don't need that crappy plastic littering our land. Seriously, go through any freeway, pull to the side of the rode, pick up some plastic shit, and it will clearly say: MADE IN CHINA. How is that for a .!._(-,-)

  • Obama's mission ..

  • Theres no way that poverty this serious should be happening in the "richest nation in the world"

  • @SapphireDiamond19 That is what happens when you have a private corporation printing your monopoly money (U.S. Dollar)

  • @SapphireDiamond19 And it is. America is going to have a rude awakening very soon. We're going to have an entire collapse.

  • @SapphireDiamond19 In the HISTORY of the world. Not the richest nation in the world today. The richest nation that is or EVER WAS.

  • @SapphireDiamond19 The US is by far not the riches nation in the world. Guess you live in the US since you think your country is. Go buy a book and study. The US is about to go bankrupt my friend and is poor and controlled poorly due to corruption waaay up high in the system. I'm happy I live in Norway where corruption is low, and we are in fact, the riches nation on the planet with 0 debt to any other country. ZERO debt!

  • @SapphireDiamond19 you mean the poorest nation in the world....what's the debt at now like 62 trillion?

    keep dropping bombs though there's always money for that you on the other hand can die for all the government cares....and the people of the world aren't buying tickets to your pitty party either you brought this on yourself america!!

  • @creedstat $14 trillion

  • @SapphireDiamond19 You mean Qatar?...thats the richest nation in the world....

  • I would fuck those 2 chicks at 2:11. What are they doing at a pantry Ill give them a few bucks to blow me.

  • @EWOKCAD you sir are an Asshole..

  • @midnitespider

    Your either a woman or a faggot.  Every guy is thinking what Im thinking.

  • @EWOKCAD Wrong,and wrong again...... I'll say it again.... "You "sir" are an Asshole", and I even was nice enough to capitalize Asshole for you. You're welcome : ). And if what you are offering to give them in return for "blowing you" is true then the world would be awfully empty..... Thinking is good!.....

  • @midnitespider

    At least they wouldn't have to go to a food pantry. They suck dick probably on a regular basis anyways Im sure. Just kill 2 birds with one stone now. How do you think they got those bastard children.

  • @EWOKCAD probably by ending up with douches like you? just my guess......

  • @EWOKCAD They're alright, not all that! I wouldn't pay for them, but I would pay for your mom, $1! LOL!

  • @EWOKCAD Keep talking like that and you will be next in that food pantry.

  • hey robert ray...why do you have to talk like your batman or some shit.... 

  • @calebfrederick better then Christian Bale's crappy way :|.....

  • @midnitespider lols

  • Must be a regional thing.

    Down here in the south things are pretty rosie.

    Plenty of work.

    Granted...they're not high paying jobs...but there's still plentiful minimum wage or a little higher jobs around.
