The article is stupid, especially the photos they chose to use. Two tires in the grass as a sign of poverty? Who put the tires there? The government? And the neighborhood in Selma didn't even look that bad. I've seen way worse neighborhoods all over the country.

Poverty is all relative. Poor people in America have it way better than people in the developing world.

The developed world should be our standard.
