Issue 93 Occupy Delaware and 1 in 7 Americans are critically poor

 

(11/6/2011)
This week I go to Occupy Delaware for the first day of the occupation of Wilmington, Delaware.  It’s cold out there but these people are committed and ready.  I ask some participants a simple question; Why are you here?  The answers of many of the people there are as varied as they are and I include the reasons of three of them.
Also, we start off with a shocking report that says 1 in 7 Americans are now in extreme poverty.  There is no excuse for this and something must be done about it.

The Good Guy will be back next week.
