1. "Children are the poorest group, percentage-wise"

"than any other group in America". That sentence...blows my mind. I'm sure that the elderly come in a close second.

He brings up a lot of good points about what happens when children live in poverty. If they are hungry, they can't think about studying or anything else.

Simply shameful. Thanks for all these videos, Sapphire.
