These Americans are among the working poor with full-time jobs earning $5.15 an hour. Millions fall into this boat, even more when you consider that the poverty line has not been adequately adjusted to reflect the true level of poverty in this country.
Marcy Kaptur, American Politician (1946-  )
A few men own from ten thousand to two hundred thousand acres each. The poor Laborer can find no resting place, save on the barren mountain, or in the trackless desert.
Denis Kearney, American Politician
The Islam of the 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th century was a poor thing. Nobody bothered about it. Islam was that funny sort of pure system of beliefs that depressed people in the Middle East held as their religion.

There really has not been a strong Republican message to either the poor or the African American community at large.

Jackie Kennedy, First Lady (1929-1994)
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Jean Kerr, American Playwright (1923-2003)
I believe Aids is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
Alicia Keys, American Musician (1981-  )
Hatred, intolerance, poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in illiteracy, so we're trying to do something to help the poor and the needy.
Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistani Scientist (1936-  )
It's more important to try to do something for the crores of poor people of my country.

Martin Luther King, Jr., American Leader (1929-1968)
Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
Martin Luther King, Jr., American Leader (1929-1968)
The entrance into Jerusalem has all the elements of the theatre of the absurd: the poor king; truth comes riding on a donkey; symbolic actions - even parading without a permit!
