The new faces of Poverty in America

The New face of Poverty and Homeless in America are its young people. What's different about it is that is coming so stark. Normally, a few years ago you wouldn't see this, especially in more affluent neighborhoods, but this isn't the case any more. Most of these kids (and some older) are white. Has for other kids of color ,my guess is they'll usually end up in prison,taking to crime readily if they can't get a job, or money in this society.

Our formally "Grateful Dead" fan now entertaining a group of impoverished Teens. IS he homeless or a "deadhead"?



Our"Deadhead" above entertaining these groups of girls, I couldn't tell if they were homeless ,impoverished or students of the local university.



Seen this guy before,that "Huck Finn" looking dude,get a job,Huck!



Its kind of a blessing that I can even take these pictures. In order to combat crime, and gang related activities in some cities. Government officials there enact "Teen Curfews". American Cities like Chicago, come to mind (under the mayorship of people like Raul Emmanuel, Former Chief of Staff in the White House).

This might be a good strategy to combat crime by Teens, But it can also hide the appalling state of Youth in America ,by hiding the problem, rather than fixing the problem in large cities.

Teens need to exercise there political force in this Country, after all ,"You got to fight, for your right, to party...."
