Poverty

Not only do folks need food and shelter, they need safety, love, dependency, respect and esteem, beauty and productive employment. We pay a surreptitious visit to the Kingsley Center for Poverty Research and hear about poverty from the Poor Man’s viewpoint, courtesy of our cousin The Janitor Who Works There.
