"Poverty Business" Topic

To start off, I honestly feel that almost everything in this world that has to do with life expenses, are corrupt. Companies and corporations are connected to the government, and they basically have control over lives. The lives I am referring to are people who can barely make it on their own. Living in this world is very expensive, especially if you have a family or children. You have to worry about a home, food, life necessities, and still have money in your pocket to live on. The government always stresses the fact that we need to put an end to poverty, but at the same time causing poverty. They have control over the way things are run in a state or city that can also help the U.S. Therefore, I believe that the government holds responsibility for raising these issues. The corporation and government are very much aware of the problems that go on in life, having to do with expenses.  Instead of trying to help poor people, they make life harder for them. They force credit on many citizens they know they could take advantage of just because they have no money. Life expenses are higher for people who are poor rather than people who already have no money. This brings me to my question as to why be it that someone who is barely getting by have to pay more in this life? It also brings me to believe that people of higher wealth are living off of the poor. Now going on to what this does to the opportunity divide, I believe that it proves it. The opportunity divide is basically opportunity not given to people because of their background and disability to gain resource. Not saying that these people are not smart, or capable of doing things, but they are discriminated on such. When a person is overlooked on their abilities based on judgment, it causes them to do whatever they have to do to get by in life, and that’s just not right. I am truly fortunate to be a part of Year Up that gives people the chance to succeed.
