The question is this: where's the poverty in America? I'd really like to help fix it, but I'm having a hard time finding it.
I used to think I found it in Appalachia - but my standards have since been lowered, and I no longer agree with the census bureau on what constitutes poverty.
I also checked in the big city... I see a lot of crime, and a lot of bad stuff, but the poverty situation seems more or less under control. Yes there are people in poverty, but there seems to be plenty of help available to them already.
Anyone know where there's serious poverty in this country?
