AP Report on Poverty

This headline just in from AP:

Poverty Rate Rises to 12.7 Percent in U.S.

That means around 37 million people in America are living on less than $22,030 a year. I definitely am not trying to belittle that but do want to point out that according to the global rich list, there are 5,334,049,159 poor than those 37 million. That is 5.3 billion people are poorer than those living in poverty in America.

37 million Americans are struggling to live on $22,000 a year while 3 billion are struggling to live on $730 a year.

Someone told me a situation where a President of the United States was asked, "If your God is so good, then why are so many people dying of starvation in the world?" The Presidents response was, "Because we haven't learned to share."

Ouch! God, help me to share what I have.
