First Reading Response- Poverty

In the article "Live Free and Starve," the author says that with this new passing of the anit-child-labor law, they should offer a new life to the newly released children. In the article he states "A bill like the one we've just passed is of no use unless it goes hand in hand with programs that will offer a new life to these newly released children." I agree with the author. In the article "The Singer Solution to World Poverty," the author thinks that people should give some of their money to children in need. He says that "an American household with an income of $50,000, spends $30,00 annually on necessities." He says a family should try to donate $20,000 to help the worlds poor. I agree people should donate money to the poor but not almost half of their income. This could cause them to become impovered. I have somewhat of a bias because I see how losing income affects families.
