My Dream for America
By: Taylor R.

My dream for America is I want poverty to be reduced to 0% of Americans. Also, I want absolutely nobody to be using drugs.

I think that there is way too much poverty in the United States of America. Do you think there is too much poverty in the United States of America? Well, according to the United States government, the government has to use the Census Bureau to help them find people that are living in poverty. The government determines if people are living in poverty by how much money the family makes in a year and how many people live in your family. If you have one person in your family you have to earn less than $11,210 a year, two people $15,140, three people $19,010, four $23,000, five $26,930, six $30,860, seven $34,790, eight $38,720 to be considered living in poverty. Did you know that you have to earn more in Alaska than the lower 48 to be considered living in poverty? Have you ever heard that one of every five children live in poverty? That is fourteen million kids' living in poverty and that is just in the United States. If a child is living with their mother, the chance of living in poverty is decreased.

By the way, I think that some causes of poverty are people using too many drugs. I also think that too many people use drugs.
So I hope you liked all of the information about how many people living in poverty use drugs or alcohol. What do you think about all those kids barely eating anything? Just think about it and listen to how all of those people needing help to stop drugs. I hope you help these people get to be normal humans (no drugs, or poverty).
