Poverty where there isn't always food on the table, of any kind.<br />Poverty where people are made homeless, or where their social security payments are taken frmo them on the whim of a secretary, forget about due process.<br />Poverty where working poor are paid way belwo the minimum wage and when they try top do something about it, they are sacked. As their employers never paid social secuirty nor gave them legal salary slips, they are left without a penny. Often their last wage wasn't paid.<br />The elderly are often so poor they have to choose between food and medicine, often live under unimaginable conditions. <br />Our politicians tell us all is getting better.<br />i haven't seen that yet.yudithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694345940567222710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15659738.post-2571357591052975342007-02-05T13:13:00.000+02:002007-02-05T13:13:00.000+02:00I moved house a couple of months ago, from a prett...I moved house a couple of months ago, from a pretty horrible place just off Abulafia street in South TA. We had lots of junk in the apartment that we didn't want to take with us. We made some trips to put it outside near the garbage cans at the end of our alley. Every trip we made, the junk from the previous trip was gone. Then, we saw an old man, looking at a broken toaster oven that we were throwing away. He asked us if it worked. He needed the money to feed himself, and he was going through the bins to find anything he could. I gave him some nearly new but (for me) ill-fitting running shoes. How many others were in that dark street, hunting through the trash?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15659738.post-69138827885390840712007-02-03T20:41:00.000+02:002007-02-03T20:41:00.000+02:00our problem that we are all in our way to be begg...our problem that we are all in our way to be beggar..but we all bileave that we never arrive to this way but..we are in the right wayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799296714397094249noreply@blogger.com
