Poverty

the world today is poverty stricken. although there's poverty throughout the world, there are two different types. there's the american poverty where we consider not having enough food to eat on the dinner table, not being able to pay your bills on time and not, where as through out the world the idea of poverty is not having food at all. thinking about that idea makes me think, with all the money in america why are there so many poor & homeless people? why are there so many people in the section 8 and why are they stuck in this cycle.

i looked around my house today when i got home. before i got home i thought about what brought me home. where did i get the money from ( if borrowed it where did they get it from). and then it hit everything that i have no matter how much or how little i have, i still have something and it's mine. when i think about poverty i think about chicago, new york, venice beach , los angeles. as america the country i may not know a lot about where a lot of our money is going but i think it should start at the bottom and go to the top. we need a modern day robin hood in my personal thought.

in a way this is a complete thought.

BUT

but because you may not have a lot what you have can make you rich
the reason i say that the richest isn't necessarily the man with dough.

ill do more on this blog later tomorrow but as of now this is what i thought about the topic

Is an impoverished person someone without "things"? Can someone who has lots of "things" be impoverished?

Why do you feel like we need a modern day Robin Hood, and why do you think of all the major cities when you think of poverty. In my opinion when people think of the big cities they think glamor.
