The point of her article is to teach the rest of us about poverty: "Poverty is a circumstance, not a value judgment."
Yet the truth of the matter is that this woman has no idea what real poverty is. Poor people in the rest of the world don't have electricity or running water. They eat out of city garbage dumps and build shelters out of cardboard that they happen to find. I suggest that she visit the dumps in Mexico City, or Cairo, or Lagos, or Calcutta, and watch six and seven year old children scrounging through the rubbish looking for scraps of metal that they can sell for a few pennies. Maybe then she would know what poverty is. And then maybe she would realize the hypocrisy of getting paid to write articles lecturing the rest of us on something about which she doesn't know jack.

In this country a VAST MAJORITY of Poverty IS DIRECTLY DUE to the collimation of a series of BAD PERSONAL DECISIONS...
In OTHER countries, especially the 3rd world it is usually circumstances that are beyond their own control.
THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE between 1st and 3rd world countries!!!!
I don’t judge people inthe third world for being poor, I sure as hell Judge non-disabled able bodies people in this country for being poor, especially if they are driving a better car and wearing more expensive clothing than i am....
