Issue #1:The Rich and The Rest of US

The first Issue :
       " It paralyzes us and prevents us from courageously facing the facts and coming up with real solution to help America's "old" and "new" poor. " According to The Rich and The Rest of US, We react and respond to the poor as if they're afflicted with some flesh- eating virus and are highly contagious. In the response of that issue we sometimes find ourselves ignoring the poor and isolating our self from them because the fear of having the thought that maybe someday we might end up in poverty like them instead of helping the poor we ignore them like they don't exist in our society. According to The Rich and The Rest of Us, Before social researches and women's organizations in the early 1900's challenged staid perceptions of poverty or " pauperism" in America, poverty was widely blamed on personal flaws such as immorality, alcoholism, and criminal behavior.  this issue connects how the society would make negative concerns towards the poor to be able to ignore them without feeling guilty. It basically outcast and neglected the poor.  Many Americans pretend that poverty isn't an issue because they don't want to face reality that the richest nation has 48.5 million people or 16 percent of the population living in poverty, according to Census data. Poverty is an Issue and it needs a solution it doesn't need us to ignore it and let it happen it doesn't need to stay in a cycle, we need to break that cycle but we can only do it if we understand the reality of poverty and fixed its flaws to make this nation a better nation.
