What Is Poverty?

Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom.
Could you live like this??
Every cent you waste could go to helping these poor people and children.
Sponsor a child now and feel the enjoyment of helping others.!.

How can poverty be abolished unless the selfish greedy groups of killer corporations are not honored as the gods the stockholders adore.Talk about judgement and condemnation everyone is saying it. No media has the courage to talk about greed and theft. I am talking about Warner Music. They steal and sell religous music that talks of children and their survival. The movie stars and singers that are working for them (native siouxs mainly) have been the cartels every criminal entrprise included, Rob Port sayanything.com that have infiltrated every reservation and work for the Senators S.D, N.D. Minn., Montana and Iowa. Just ask Wellstone oops he cannot help feed the handicapped anymore since 2001? And his voting record looks messed up (people stealing things and exchanging things by putting them in their pants)All midwest newspapers are owned by non-private owners cannot report on hunger that way.

Poverty is man-made. We can stop the needless deaths brought about the lack of clean drinkable water. Where do you stand? Why can we spend billions to fight an illegal war, but not a penny for the survival of a people? If I hear one more whining from the wealthy, I vote for a tax on their mouths...

The poor in most 3rd world countries continue to have far too many children because they expect others to feed them, etc. We have poverty in the US that everyone ignores while they wimper about people that knowingly chose to have lots of kids or kids although they had aids,some of the african nations allow multiple marriages. Why should I contribute to a man with 6 wives that he gave aids and all the children he has with each wife? Id rather help the poor in the US that aren't overbreeding. Earth is finite and weve made too many people for too many generations. Time for people to accept the consequences of their own actions and not push them on others.
