    About this ebook

    Poverty is a major concern in the United States, and poverty is a problem that will one day destroy the lives of millions and force the wealthy to live in fear. In America, we have poor and low-income Americans being taken advantage of by slumlords with overpriced rent for poor housing and grocery stores selling over steroid and poor quality food. America has treated poor Americans like an unopened bill, afraid to know what it is, therefore, throw it away or attend to it when they can.

    America, poverty and poor conditions exist, and now it is time to tell this government that we care about every American because America's future depends on it. This government misunderstands and miscalculates the conditions of the poor, and since poverty destroys everything that psychologically and physically makes a person whole, it induces impoverished individuals to commit crimes for survival. America is too rich to be poor in spirit when making sure people are not working dead in jobs or going to bed hungry or living in substandard housing.
