From the cities of America. Now the only jobs available to people living in the cities are in fast food. People can't support their families that way. But the corporations who sponsor the government wont change because they are getting richer, and fast. With industry gone from the city, some of the poor turn to the black market for money.
Drug dealers appear and create a market for weapons.
A city budget that is supported by low-income families has very little money for effective school programs, which promote the motivation and skills needed for college. This lack of adequate funding for education contributes to the cycle of poverty in the city. As if inner city schools didn't have enough problems, there are very few talented teachers who will work for a small salary in a dangerous neighborhood. Medical school costs thousands of dollars and doctors can't pay their loans by establishing free clinics in the inner cities for the poor and uninsured. And if you think that the insurance industry is going to let congress get away with universal health insurance, think again.
