Food for thought

A recent survey in the US showed that 80% of adults struggle with unemployment, near poverty, or reliance on welfare for at least part of their lives. Nineteen million white people live below the poverty line of $23, 021 for a family of four, nearly double the number of poor blacks. 1.5 million white single mothers live in poverty, comparable single black mothers. It is clear that poverty ( and the exigencies of capital) does not discriminate. John Ayers.
