minimum wage linked to poverty

Published: Tuesday February 26,2008 by ray1960

do we really live in cloud coockoo land of course poverty is linked to a low income it as done since the day i came onto this planet 47 years ago we have a wider gap to day then ever between the rich and poor and we wonder why with 2.5 million children in a country with so much wealth are in poverty this is the UK not a 3rd world country crime is rampant because of these reasons and other factures, if a family can't survive with soaring food prices etc what do you expect them to do roll up in a ball and die no they will do what ever they must to try and give there children a better life are we really just waking up to the true facts or is this a gimmick that as been going on for years remember the goverments from 20 years ago the thacther years then they said everyone no matter what background should have the same chances in life to progress and today the blair years same words so after 20 odd years there is the same divide well educated to progress much easier then from a inner city sink estate you stay in the same situation of course a few do get out of that trap but most never will as we don't live in a just society and we never will as the rich and posh talkers don't want the poor on there level
