must be a 200 word response

 Do you agree with the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty that U.S. policies towards poverty ignore human rights and as a result, our democracy is steadily being undermined? How do you explain the fact that there are 40 million people living under the federal poverty line in the richest country on earth? What kind of actions do you expect the government to take in order to address poverty and income inequality or do you think that these issues are society's responsibility to deal with? Explain.
