Firstly, no the people aren't forced to live in poverty, but if you've ever been there you'll know that a lot of them do, its not unusual to see large numbers of homeless people sleeping in parks in the DC area. As to leaving it up to the people its being done to, we can't, did you miss the part where they have no say? We as a country are so concerned with he politics of every other country in the world but we can't step in and give basic rights and freedoms to our own citizens? That is absurd. I do however agree whole heartedly with doing away with the peeping tom patriot act
