You know, I read this article
and could have gotten upset or go out and join the occupy movement. Instead, I will do what I am very good at. I will talk about this on a podcast and on one of my talk shows. Why not go to the protests? The honest answer is that they are becoming non news as the media sees them as no longer a news story. I do see them as a news story and will work to have some of them on a future television show or podcast. However, there needs to be attention on this matter on a radio, podcast or television talk show to have an audience who may not come to the program on purpose, but from channel surfing and staying because they become engaged in the presentation and the subject matter or care about the people in the story or guests. Just having an online report that requires one to read it may fail to gain much of an audience. I do want to thank CNN and credit CNN as the source as well as their web site staff for having this story online. As for it airing on their network I would not know as I don’t have cable at present.
However, I feel the best possible outcome that one can do to attempt to bring about change if one is in poverty his or herself is use the blessings and talents that one has.
My talents are as a journalist / commentator/personality / talker. This is how I will shed light on this very sad issue. When we have people who were once middle or upper class falling into poverty in America then we have slapped the US Constitution and all of the founders of our nation in the face and have destroyed the very purpose and principles of our great United States Of America.
We, my fellow Americans, must first change our own nation and futures to rise above poverty one and all then we must help people in poverty around the globe rise up out of poverty as well.
You may say this is impossible, but 235 years ago the world said The United States Of America was impossible. They said flight and space travel were impossible and all of us know this to now not only be a reality, but to be a daily part of life for millions of people in America. I ask you if we can win a nation, learn how to fly, create an internet, create satellites and visit Mars with robots do you really think ending poverty in America is impossible? I don’t and you must work to end the despair and poverty.
