We all need to listen to this. Very profound.
"It seems like we're hated. We're good people, we're just poor. We're not bad people just because we're poor but we get treated that way. I don't understand what happened to America," -Mondella Brown tells @JordanChariton on their uninhabitable living conditions in West Virginia

I had listened to this, it's heartbreaking. Having had grown up poor in the poorest area in my state I felt his pain. Brought tears to my eyes. People are angry. We as a country need to get our priority straight. Government for the people... We need to start lifting people up.

Do we really need to stick a microphone in someone's face to understand what's going on and has been going on now for decades? It's humiliating to these people and embarrassing to the world. But obviously necessary.

The definition of poor? Any third world family would love to eat that good or just have shelf bent with the weight of goods.
No one going to work should earn poverty wages
