On Tuesday evening following his Floriday primary victory, Mitt Romney told Soledad O’Brien that, “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair I’ll fix it.” The following day, The Takeaway followed up with a segment about the changing face of poverty in America. As part of a continuing conversation about this topic, Ron Robinson joins the program. Robinson is a homeless father of twins who lost his job at AT&T in 2010, and has been moving his family in and out of homeless shelters in Detroit, Michigan ever since. Alex Kotlowitz, journalist, author of the book “There Are No Children Here,” and producer of “The Interrupters” also addresses the subject.
