Poor in this country (the US) is totally different than other countries.<p>Most &quot;poor&quot; people have TV&#x27;s, VCR&#x27;s computers and smartphones. Most poor people can find places to sleep or crash or get groceries and handouts to survive. With all of the government plans, it&#x27;s actually pretty easy to be poor in America:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;timworstall&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;01&#x2F;astonishing-numbers-americas-poor-still-live-better-than-most-of-the-rest-of-humanity&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;timworstall&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;01&#x2F;astonishi...</a><p>You want to see real poverty? Go to Hati, go to Panama, Cuba or go to nearly any South African country ravaged by centuries of war.<p>People literally have NOTHING. They&#x27;re thankful for clean water, and a small meal. Forget about clean clothes, basic hygiene and other multiple things we take for granted every single day.
