I see people of all backgrounds who are morally impoverished.

As Anne said, poverty's relative.

If our great-grandparents could come back today, I doubt they'd think our poverty as any great hardship.

Running water, free health and education, indoor toilets.

It's all relative.

At my school I lived with the shame of only having an outdoor swimming pool, not an indoor one.

I just to accept the relative poverty, and get on with working my way out of it.

I think that's roughly what I said.. there's no point in comparing what was called "poor" in the past.. even in the "you've never had it so good" early 60's most households had out door toilets... it is all relative and so how should we class some families as "poor" in 2012?.. I'm talking about working families.
