Poverty In American Cities The problems of poverty in American cities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are not much different from today. Poverty exists everywhere from the nation’s largest cities to the rural back country and also around the world. There are millions of Americans who have not experienced what most of us experience everyday. My feeling towards poverty is as such: the poor are poor because the rich are rich. The rich have the power to establish trade, and the poor do not. This seems to favor their interests more than those who are suffering from poverty. Poverty in American cities is something that has always been existent, something that has been and might always be a problem. In that, it is a crisis that will never be truly solved; although there may be numerous solutions in solving the problem. There are many programs that have aided in lowering the high risk of poverty; such as social security, food stamps, and housing assistance. Without these benefits, people would be a lot worse than what you see now. These programs have helped, but are not enough to exterminate poverty.
