Why do you think people are poor?
I still believe the sole reason for people being poor is due to the economy and the government. As I continue my study on this course. There are proven facts that back up my opinion. Such as the United States spending nearly 500 billion dollars to fight terrorism in other countries so they could have peace. When back in the United States there is only 16 billion dollars spent a year to address extreme poverty. Today I learned that the United States has more poverty than 11 other countries that has the same wealth and standard of living as the US. I believe this is ridiculous considering we spend 500 BILLION DOLLARS for another country to have peace when not only America but other countries are poor as well. Why cant we use some of that money to implement learning programs, make more affordable housing, build more plants for jobs, have more government assistance programs...Is this not more important than world peace which is realistically never going to happen.

I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO HELP THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY, OR CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL CAUSE THEM TO BE POOR. PEOPLE ARE NOT POOR BECAUSE THEY LACK MONEY.
Angela people are very well indeed poor because of lack of money..what is the definition of poverty? living without basic need; shelther, food, clothes,and water. What do you need in order to get these necessitites money! People who live in moderate poverty live on $1 to $1 a day and people who live in extreme poverty live on $1 a day.
I meant people who are in moderate poverty live on $1 to $2 a day
WOW..I DID NOT KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIVE ON $1 A DAY
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN MAKING $1 OR $2 THEY HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE UNMPLOYMENT HAVE RAN OUT AND THEY STILL CAN"T FIND A JOB OR THEY CAN'T GET TO A JOB,,,I WALK ABOUT A LOT OF HOME LESS PEOPLE IN THE TOWN AREA OF ATLANTA THEY ARE SITTING OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO LEAVE AND THEY RETURN IN THE EVENING LINE IS RAP AROUND THE BUILDING BECAUSE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, MANY ARE LEFT OUT IN THE HEAT OT COLD...THEY SHOULD TRY TO BUILD MORE SHELTERS FOR HOMELESS AND GIVE , SOME OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLES JOBS IN THE SHELTER SO THEY CAN GO AND START A LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTER...
Why do you think people are poor?" spirit of laziness, scared to step out of there confort zone, no goals in life ,,,,the may one they don't have a chose, government, they came up with a program call the FRESH START RECENT THAT GAVE UP TO $3000 in assistance but you had to have children,,,what about single peoples that need a FRESH START,,
IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE AMERICA BETTER COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN..
