4. Not trying to sound like a jerk.....

but I'm done thinking small. The line between poor, working, and (most of the)middle class in America is fairly thin. And many of the needs are the same.

Besides, if we focused on the poor only, certain "@$$%##'s" would claim that the poor were getting a free ride. If we address the problems of all three classes at the same time that would be harder to do. Not that that would stop them, but they would have to work hard. And finally seeing improvement in their own lives would make the needed aid for the poor a much easier sale to both the working and middle classes.
