Who do you think is poor?



In todays society I believe half of America is poor and globally more than half the world is poor. In my opinion being poor is more than living without shelther, food and basic nessecities. Most of the time when you think of poor you think of homeless people. But I believe you can be poor with a house, job and car. Poor individuals are those who lack the following qualities: financial stability, knowledge to succeed and motivation to do better in life.

basic your standard living are higher than your income, you can"t find a job because all jobs have been ship overseas...If you choose to make your car payment you cannot afford to buy grocery, if you loose your car how are you going to seek employment when most of the bus and train routes are been reduced are live where there are no bus....

Not to mention the weducated college grads that do not end up in job placement when they graduate along with the compounded financial payment that you have to give six months after graduating. I believe these stats factor into the poverty levels that the census takes. Its obvious that not everyone in the U.S. can have a job or financial assistance from the government but providing a means to control job placement by adding financial assistance with government jobs.
