My dad has always said that a “poor people exchange program” would be a good idea. Have some poor U.S. citizens change places with some poor people from India for a few weeks. Might get the U.S. citizens to stop complaining.
This girl, then 15, and her brothers and sisters did exactly that, though unintentionally. Read the story. When she returned to Houston, she was asked if she learned anything from her ordeal. “Yes, I learned there are no poor people in America.” was her reply.............
