US Poverty Numbers hit an all time high.
There is an astounding 46 million people in the US living under the poverty line. The standard for poverty in America is an annual income of about $22,000 for a family of four and about $11,000 for a single person. In America this seems to be crazy low amount of money to live off of. I feel very bad for these poor people because they are not living the healthiest of lives and poverty leads to crime. Stealing food and entertainment devices are on the rise as well. Poverty rate for blacks is 27.4% and the rate for Hispanics is 26.6% percent, the south had a 16.9% poverty. I live in a middle class house so i don’t know what it would be like to be in such poverty, but i have seen it in Oakland and other cites. It depressing because people try and work hard but it’s very difficult to come up out of the poverty level. For example, i play Texas hold em’ poker online and it is really difficult to raise my account level. Earning money is hard in today's market is not an easy task, I hope the next president will really change this around. It’s going to take a long time, but with the right amount of effort it can be lowered. Although this is possibly, it is on the individual people. People will always be poor cause there are things such as drugs, gambling, and alcohol that help people destroy their bank accounts.
