The neglect of the poor is nothing new in America, but under the terrible inept present OFFICE HOLDERS {Democrat controlled}, America is becomming much more unfriendly toward the poor. Perhaps a United Nations effort should be directed toward clothing and feeding hungry, homeless Americans. The big banks just keep forclosing on poor Americans and booting them out of their homes. The factory jobs have been moved to China so there are not a lot of jobs around that will pay a monthly mortgage on house. The welfare administrators still have their houses but everyone cannot work for the Government. It is looking more and more like the Soviet Union just after the collapse. While all this happens, the NEWS MEDIA acts as if nothing is wrong and continues to worship Obama. Time is running out for the poor Americans.
