Do you think people in the UK live in real povety and is it their own fault? Why?
Question:
Answers:
No, I think that people in the US live in real povety and its not their fault.
"Poverty in America has grown persistently throughout the twentieth century. Once a condition confined to immigrants, women and children, by the 1930s poverty became tied to the geographic development of the nation. Historically, poverty policy has emphasized individual moral responsibility while ignoring its geographic and structural origins. A weak attempt to address the deeper origins of poverty in the 1960s imploded with the economic crisis of the 1980s and the slide into conservative politics. By 1997 more than 700 counties in the USA were in economic distress. Few new initiatives have been offered to resolve this decades-old problem".

I dont think anyone in the UK lives in poverty, if people think that then they should go and see the third world sweat shops and see what poverty really is!!! Everyone in the UK is upper class compared to their conditions
