Democracy and Us
Every day in every way our policy makers can figure out methods for getting low income families the medical, economical and intellectual help they need to change their low status to better. But our laws and policies suggest instead that proper people to protect are the millionaires. Furthermore, the rich control our media. We hardly hear anything about the challenges facing poor people in America.
The midterm elections are the proof of the tactic of denying poor people a voice in our democracy. Can we find a way to go door-to-door to check residency and give free identification cards to all those poor, elderly and sick who cannot go through the process of acquiring identity cards for themselves? We are losing our status as a democratic country where our poor people to have the right to life and opportunity.
