I am having an out-of-money experience.
We think of poverty as a condition simply meaning a lack of funds, no money, but when one sees fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-generation poor, it is clear that poverty is as complicated as high finance.
The issue isn’t just jobs. Even slaves had jobs. The issue is wages.
The poorest people in our country today . . . are earning wages so low that they cannot begin to function in the mainstream of the economic life of our nation. . . . We have thousands and thousands of people working on full-time jobs, with part-time incomes.
