God provides- that is the point. We have to believe in his divine providence. The pay is also better here. Our poor are far better off than the poor of Latin America.Poverty is a terrible thing but the poverty of Africa and some parts of Latin America is starvation.
I don't think that is true. It is next to impossible to live poorly like one could in the Third World in the US. Besides it being illegal to bring children up in such an environment. Law and expectations dictate that it is much harder to be poor here than abroad.
