Poverty and Wealth

Poverty is present today and continues to grow. As wealth is created among the richest, the gap between the rich and poor are spread apart further. Luckily in America, we have the government's social safety net programs to aid poverty and eliminate absolute poverty. Third world countries who lack the help to get out of poverty, stay in poverty, as the world continues growing. It is sad to see the extreme wealth that is in America and look across the globe and see starvation, disease, no shelter, no technology, and the list could go on and on. Middle and Low class citizens experience extreme financial difficulties, but it is nothing like the those of other countries. Taking for granted the roof above our heads, the food we have access too, and the quality of life can happen everyday. As we go about our busy lives we sometime forget to stop and think about what we have.
