Excuse me, unless you live under a rock, there is plentyof that type of poverty in New England, just like Florida.
Trailers with tarps on the roofs...houses that are ready to fall in...3rd world conditions. Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine being the worst, I don't know how they survive, especially the Winters. 60 minutes did a show 2 weeks ago on" disability" in West Virginia, half the county was on disability. Why?...The government allowed there jobs to be sent overseas...there unemployment ran out ...so that is basically what happens when all the factory jobs disappear. You say "clean houses,pick blueberries" just who is going to hire you?...other impoverished people? Blueberrie picking is 2 weeks, about $2 hour, if that. Children have no control over what circumstances they were born into, and should be given the "tools" to become a stable adult.
