Rural Poverty in the United States

http://bit.ly/HelpRuralUS Across the rural U.S., poverty may seem mostly invisible. But it is just as bad in America as it is in developing countries.

World Vision's Ruston Seaman and other voices in the struggle to help Americans living in poverty discuss the issues that work against American families in need.

Filmed in Mendenhall and Cary, Mississippi.

Here in south west Nebraska, the land hogs bought up massive lands, 12 families have on average own 60 plus square miles, In other words one family owns what over 300 families use to own and make a living from, then the tax payers pay the rich $150 an acre not to grow crops. can the world get any crazier.

Its not just Inner Cities that have High Poverty but Rural Areas as well. Who are probably forgotten because they live in such small areas.
