The Midwest had some of the lowest poverty rates and the south continues to have the highest poverty rate. That means that going back on the initial question of "who do you think is poor in the US and globally", every region and everyone is poor, whether it is the essential things we need in life, or just plan materials things that we desire.
So, why do I think that people are poor? Well, from what I learned from the most recent class session, people are mostly poor because of lost jobs and etc. This is affected by the place they live and/or work, which has alot to do with geography. It states that poor people are characterized by low education, wages, scarce jobs, inadequate social support services, etc. These characterizations have alot to do with the geography, if not all to do with geography.
In this session, there are many things being done about poverty. The first thing NOT being done, however, is that poor people were affected by the past government policies. Right now, there are tax policies that favor investment in new factories.
Personally, I think there the government should do whatever it takes to create more jobs. Also, the overnment should not be taxing us on everything, but actually giving the people tax money so that the citizens can go around and spend to businesses so that those businesses have customers. Then because of those customers, businesses have money to spend on other businesses, making this a circular flow.
