Sign of the Times

While browsing along the city, i came accross some beggars in the street. Though Germany is a rich and developed country, there are still some people that are poor. Compared to our country, the poor here are really not that poor for they got some kind of government support.

Its sign of the times that poverty is on the rise. The badly affected are families with either lower incomes and reduced subsidies or suffering from long term unemployment. While more and more people are being affected by the global economic crisis, there's also an increasing number of rich here who are getting richer and can afford to spend on luxus things.
