Beginnings of Poggy

I agree with what Poggy is trying to convey at the beginning; that peoples judgments that world poverty doesn’t seem like it’s that big of a deal. It’s all the way over there, I see no need to mess with it mentality. One way of lightening the problem would be do lessen the burdens that we(I’m not sure who we is, possibly the west) have put on smaller poverty ridden countries.
One thing that I am curious to look in to is. The fact that there is poverty in the United States. If we are looking at would poverty, would starting with the united states, be beneficial or more harmful to help lessen world poverty?
