Dirty fucking immigrants and their slums, right Mehmet? Laying that aside. Poverty isn't restricted to the third world. Your country isn't exactly poor, and I'm willing to bet that you've seen a slum or two in Turkey. The Bronx and Harlem are filled with poverty sure, but there are areas of the US that are less well known (at least globally) with this problem as well. Almost the entirety of deep Appalachia, and large tracts of the southern US, for example. Kids without shoes, that can't read or write, and will lose every tooth they have by the age of 20. It isn't an issue of the US becoming a third world country, even at our most wealthy moments there has always been poverty here. Thankfully we have programs designed to alleviate this, but they are all in pretty deep shit right now. I'd be willing to concede to the fact that poverty isn't anywhere near as big a problem here as it is in some places....unless you're a member of the poor, of course. In that case it doesn't really matter where the fuck you live, does it? Hungry is hungry, broke is broke, begging is begging.
