Poverty

Hey, I think that poverty is one thing that the government isn’t doing enough to solve. They are spending all the money that Canada sends to them from taxes on a stimulus package or something like that.Instead of wasting those billions of dollars on something that isn’t that important, why don’t they spend it on people in poverty because poverty is something that has been going on for such a long time and it’s like no one even notices or thinks about those poor people that can’t feed there kids or that people that have lost their job because of the state of the economy.
These people deserve to have jobs and they certainly deserve to have food to. In one of our language arts classes we read some of these poverty stories and it really changed how I think about poverty. I used to think that poverty was a homeless person that sleeps in a cardboard box on the side of the street in Toronto.
I have now realized that poverty can occur in many different ways. The media makes these people feel sorry for them when really the media should just leave these people alone! They are already in a lot of trouble. They don’t need people making them feel worse!All we need to do is just think a little more about trying to do something about this worldwide problem. It just starts with one little thing and that can trigger more people to do good things.
