        @ABC I live in a gov't HUD apt. Some tenants say they don't have money, but I see wads of cash on them. They sell donated items for drugs.

        @ABC wealth could be created, there is no limit for it, so why the poor people don't succeed? nobody to blame but themselves.

        @ABC Everyone is wrong. These people look poor to me. Why aren't they picking up all that trash? I'm not so sure they don't have any money.

        @ABC Stat fining people for littering. Teach them how to put their trash in a garbage can. To avoid fines they will pick up a piece.RT
