Living on the Edge: Poverty in America

keep talkin trash behind that pc screen of yours boy,lol

well right now it's about the same, soeither way your comment makes no sense dumbass. educate ur ignorant ass

was my comment made a few years ago or a few days ago cocksucker

canada use to have a higher poverty percentage a few years ago then the U.S. dumbass.

forthelasttime223 is right, it their fault they are like that, not the government. I live in Romania and there are few people under the poverty line in the cities but are a lot in the country side. It is a normal fact present in any countryes. The only way this thing can be stopped is comunism and I don't think anyone want's that. Americans don't even know how life in comunism is and I don't think they wana.

THANK GOD I LIVE IN CANADA

I guess when we see American kids with thin, wispy, orange hair and distended bellies we'll know there's poverty.

To bad the politicians don't live in the conditions their policies have caused.

ay oma que ricaaaaaaa

Honestly this problem is bigger than presented here. It is begginning to effect a lot of people because of rising costs. Gas prices are sky high. This is a national crisis not just limited to those in extreme poverty. We are in a recession. Why do you think Bush gave us some money for a stimlus payment. If even companies which make tons of money are suffering then we are facing another depression

lack of higher education is not always a problem. I have a bachelors degree in communications which should allow me to get almost any job. It is a myth that education is a always a way out of poverty. I have a huge loan over my head so now I am going to get a masters degree so I can somehow mangae to make $25,000/year.

Joining a bank with masters degrees? They deal with customers, count their money and balance it! I think you have been discriminated! Don't lose your faith. I'm also have a college degree in Secretarial and still there's no one who could give me a break, I'm working minimum wage to survive.

wow, gotta love brilliance such as this. you did not dispute it. remember mommy telling you the same thing? work hard, stay in school, dont have babies before its right, dont go to jail? remember that? well she was right. i see these people every day, on the porch drinking instead of working, and it is a national disgrace. im sorry, its NOT that hard to make a decent living in u.s. We should help those who cant help themselves, not the lazy.

sounds like public school propaganda. this isnt sub saharan africa. people are poor in this country by their own hand. finish school, dont have babies you cant afford, dont commit crimes, and work smart, and youll be fine. break the big 4 you get what you desreve

There are plenty of poor people who work hard everyday.

F**k school waste of time, no pay

Well, I am doing a research paper about poverty in America, and I don't think that this video did anything but bore me. I thought it to be very biased, and one sided. It spoke nothing of the solutions to stop poverty. Maybe Hiatus Productions could do a sequel to this films acutally showing us the truths of poverty and the probable outcomes of how to solve it.

At times this country makes me sick. And this is one of those times.

I VOTE FOR NO ONE TOO!

Those are the problems but what are the solutions?

Nice video.

these are the kind of videos that need to make the front page.

I consider it a political and social crime that a poor or middle class family be prohibited by the POLITICIANS from getting decent modern housing by negating property ownership through politicaly engineered hyper-inflation and taxation.
FREE MARKETS MUST BE ABOLISHED! DEMOCRACY IS POVERTY --VOTE FOR NO ONE

I have a college degree in business yet I do not have the work experience so I am virtually unemployable. I am overqualfied to work for wal-mart or mcdonalds but I do not have enough qualfications to work as a store manager? I want to vocational rehab and told them it would be nice to work in a bank but they told me those jobs are for people with masters degrees? A BANK? since when?

wheres my spoon?
