Is It Now a Crime to Be Poor?
By Barbara Ehrenreich
Maybe we can't afford the measures that would begin to alleviate America's growing poverty - affordable housing, good schools, reliable public transportation and so forth. I would argue otherwise, but for now I'd be content with a consensus that, if we can't afford to truly help the poor, neither can we afford to go on tormenting them. Ref. Source 2
In a way it is a crime in many ways. I'm talking socially, fonancially and politically. Maybe even spiritually since a lot of those ministers what you to give them money to be saved. Obama wants to make the rich poor and the poor very poor, I don't get it.

The more and more I read about what our new president wants to do I think I will be poor sooner than later. As he takes all the wealth away from the hard workers and gives it to those who do not want to work at all. I hope that this actually does not happen.
Being poor is not a crime but it demotivates the person that may lead to enter the world of crime. The ministers of a country play an important role in the development of the poors. If the policitian is good then he has to bear his personal loss to make the poor rich. But, nowadays none of the politician is ready to bear this loss. As a result, the rich is becoming richer and the poor is becoming poorer.

Comments: Crime and the poor is almost synonymous. Just look at a poor neighborhood and you will see a lot of crime or criminals coming from there to do crimes elsewhere.
