POVERTY DEVALUES THE HUMAN LIFE.

American Dream Now a Nightmare for Millions
U.S. Census: One in Five Lives on Less than $7 per day.
The so-called “wealthiest, most abundant nation on Earth” now has the widest gap between rich and poor of any industrialized nation. In light of the fact that one dollar spent in the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia buys what $3 or $4 does in the U.S means the quality of life for tens of millions of Americans is now on a par with huge populations living in the developing world.
WE CAN'T KEEP ASKING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO GIVE WHEN 
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS POOR.  

Poverty in America

WE ARE THE RICHEST NATION BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT NICKELS AND DIMES US TO DEATH.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT BY DEFINITION!
IT IS TIME TO UNITE AND INSIST THAT WE GET OFF THE WAR PATH AND ONTO THE RIGHT PATH OF SAVING LIVES. jeffrey sachs


WHY ARE WE NOT WAGING A WAR AGAINST POVERTY?
18,000 THOUSAND CHILDREN DIE OF STARVATION EVERY DAY.

World Hunger and Poverty
UN: 18,000 Children Die Daily From Hunger

The United Nations is estimating 18,000 children are dying every day because of hunger and malnutrition. The head of the World Food Program, James Morris, said: “This is a shameful fact—a terrible indictment of the world in 2007.” The largest numbers of malnourished children are in India and China. Morris said the hunger crisis has been caused in part by the growing number of natural disasters around the world. According to the World Bank, natural disasters have increased fourfold over the last 30 years.
