that poor people have no voice to speak. the wealthy and the adverage class speak for them and they don't know everything. so how are people supposed to know.
i think that what she is trying to say is that the poor people onf this nation dont have a voice beacuse they dont have maney to hold to thgere names.
The people who decide the issues that affect the poor have money, so they have no idea what the poor really want or need. If the issues aren't addressed, it's not like the poor have the influence or money to really do anything about it. Either way, the poor still end up with what they had to begin with: not much.
THE SMARTEST WAY TO ACT IS BY BEING RICH TOO. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT. SO IF YOU WANT TO BE HEARD THEN GET RICH AND CHANGE THE ECONOMY,.
WHAT I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO VOICES ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE VICTIMS IN THE SITUATION RATHER IT BE POVERTY OR WAR. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE VOICE TO SPEAK ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THESE SITUATIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE LISTEN TO MORE OF.
i think this quote means that how can we let our people suffer? if they're in need we should help them out! wouldn't they do the same for us?
Cough cough... I swear I commented on this one on Friday... I don't know how one or even a thousand people of poverty could do to get help. If you look on TV or in the newspaper, you see pictures of thousands of people screaming out in huge masses for help. But who helps them? If you think about it, unless people take the extra step to help someone, chances are that that person will more likely be stuck that way for the rest of their days.
