This documentary reminds me a lot of my childhood. Real poverty still exists in this country. For those of you who think that structural poverty does not exist, or that poor people are poor because of bad choices, I highly suggest you take a look at this. A lot of the stuff said about poverty I see in our circles is wrong and ignorant. No, it isnt as easy as pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. And if you think that poverty will go away by eliminating income taxes and welfare, you are ignoring the larger structural issues that created those things in the first place.
