typical sense of self-entitlement. no one on this board wants to live in poverty, even America's version of it.
So, comments comparing poverty in the US to third-world countries makes no sense. Are you saying that poverty-stricken families in the US should not be helped simply because other countries have it worse?
With that reasoning rich people should not be helped (with tax breaks, government programs, set-asides, etc.) because they have it better than everyone. In fact, no one should be helped because everyone has it better than someone at some point.
The fact remains that poverty is not a good thing, for anyone. So, instead of whining about how good they have it, ask yourself this, would you want to live in poverty (the U. S. version)?
