b.) FDR (president after Hoover) changed people's out look on the poor. Before Hoover had the idea of "Rugged individualism" hanging around that said basically that poor people were lazy and people who were rich earned it because they work hard. With direct relief and other acts like Industrial recovery act( gave state money to to make jobs) FDR successfully changed the way we think about the poor.
