As some of you that know me know that I live in eastern Ky, Hazard to be exact. I have live in places from Texas to Rhode Island and several places in between. I can say from first hand experiences that there is poor people every where. I don't feel that there is more here at home then there are anywhere else. I do feel that there is more and more people in eastern Ky that rely on help but not because they really need it but because they can get it. People are not taught anymore that if you want something you need to work for it. It is not owed to you for any reason. I have been on the bottom end and if it wasn't for government help there would have been days that I might not have had anything to eat. My family never gave up and we worked as hard as we could to get off any form of help. Everything that we have we worked for and I am now financially stable. Until people wake up and quit giving handouts to people who are just to sorry to get a job this is going to keep being a problem. Also if you look at a lot of these people under the "poverty" level they drive new cars with there IPhone's and plenty of other toys. A lot of people that are claiming to be poor aren't as poor as they might want you to think.
