There have always been poor people at the bottom of the rung. There always will be. The "poor" in this country are richer than the poor anywhere else. The actual poor across the world are trying to find their next meal and live in tin or cardboard shacks. Our poor have cell phones, cars, microwaves, TVs, eat junk food, and are obese and smoke cigarettes. Obviously that is a blanket statement and doesn't apply to all the poor. It's tough to make it on $15/hour, no doubt. The problem is that expectations are too high. Equality is a myth. There will always be an underclass unable or unwilling to advance beyond poverty. A man most people in Mississippi worship as God said 2000 years ago, "the poor you have with you always", and "having food and raiment, therewith be content". <br /><br />Take away the "stimulus" money, extra unemployment, all the benefits, and people would work or starve. This would fix the labor shortage problem. People astound me who think all the free money doesn't result in people not working. These are people who can't think past Friday. If you have ever worked with these kind of people you know what I mean. There are people who won't show up on Friday if you pay yen on Thursday. They come back to work on Monday because they spent all their money over the weekend. Yes, the free money is the problem.
