do you think what america needs is for everyone to know what it is like to be poor for ten years?

Question

if everyone for 10 years o f their life was poor ...don't you think it would help our leaders to remember or to learn some perspective..the world isn't in balance...

Answer 1

no. if you don't like living in America then move out and go somewhere else!!!

Answer 2

I absolutely agree. Only about 90 days in my house. And it's not that I don't like America, I do. It's still the best country going. In my opinion it's the greatest country rivaling even the Roman empire. But with that it has turned most into the new Romans or what I call amoneycans. I mean look at the stock market. It's like that carnival game with the squirt guns, squirting water into the clown mouths and blowing up the balloon. All anyone of concern is worried about is keeping those #s as high as possible no mater what.where's the fun in that. I mean why make a living if you don't have a life. just wait till one busts. It happened once and it will happen again. The very life is being choked out of this country with this attitude. Come on we need to LIGHTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Well that wouldn't make the world in balance.
Not everyone here is rich. People look at America as content, spoiled little kids with no ethics.
Yea, there are those and there is what America is really made of...
Hard working people trying to earn a living and care for the ones they love.
It's not as pleasent in America as everyone thinks, and everyone isn't rich.
Maybe the rich stereotypical ones should be poor for a couple of years, but not America in general.

Answer 4

There is no end to human stupidity. My ex has been poor all his life and he still doesn't get it!

Answer 5

maybe one year.. that ought to do the job.
