The Issue Of Poverty In America

The U.S can no longer hide from its deep poverty problem. Most people believe that the extreme poverty problem for example the United Nations has vanished from America and no one in America is surely not as poor as someone in Nepal or Ethiopia. Even though there isn’t extreme poverty in America like the other countries America still has pretty bad poverty. For example we can not stop the people from sitting on the floor hoping for people to give them money and America can no longer stop this.

American poverty is an issue that America can’t stop and should be something wealthy people should help. Every time you eat food and don’t finish it so you throw it out that would most probably help an American family who suffer from poverty

so no matter how bad the food is either give it to someone else or finish it so at least someone else or yourself can enjoy food. Food is no the only problem with families who suffer from poverty water is also a problem because usually everyone finished a water bottle. So people should not only give poor people money but should also give them a meal and water to feed their families.

As I was writing this there was a question that came to me which was how really poor are the families in America who have poverty? Only 43% of families with poverty own their own homes and that other 57% are living in tents in parking lots or just on benches. Of course, the living conditions of the average poor American should not be taken as representing all the poor. There is actually a wide range in living conditions among the poor. The main reason why there is poor Americans and poor American children is because there parents don’t work much and father is always absent from home. And once the children are raised poor then their children will most probably be poor and the same cycle keeps on going and going which creates extreme poverty.

In conclusion, the extreme poverty in America just keeps on growing because of the children being raised. If only wealthy Americans donated to poor people more than they have to and be more generous towards families with poverty it can cut down the amount of homeless people to get a house instead of a tent or box and raise a family like a normal family. A house isn’t the only thing to raise a family with the money that wealthy people will donate the parents should get the children a good education, food, and water. If only wealthy Americans will be generous we can destroy most of the poverty in America.
