A shocking 37 million Americans live in poverty. the highest percentage in the developed world. They are found from the hills of Kentucky to Detroit's streets, from the Deep South of Louisiana to the heartland of Oklahoma. NO HEALTHCARE..HOMELESS..

Why are people not noting this?
Do they prefer to ignore it, and "look to the other side", as in "If I don't notice it, it'll go away"???

United States of America, wake up!!!!

This is reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This should make front page!!!!!!

Thanks Ella.

I'm concerned about the poverty in the United States but no one really wants to talk about it. Thanks for this story!

Poor people are better controlled. When people's basic needs are met, they have a few paychecks in the bank, and they have very few personal problems, they look around and see what else needs their attention.
