Out of 35 countries, the US is ranked 34th as the worst for child poverty

[jknowgood]

Who has been in power the majority of the time over the last 100 years? Democrats. What do they like to do? Keep people poor and dependent for control, power and votes.

How do you keep poor people poor?

Welfare.

 

[sartre play]

So we are not perfect, and should be working together to correct problems. not creating more problems by fighting each other tooth & nail.

 

[kwc57]

The conservative approach to poverty?

Deny the poor any and all benefits that might help them.

The theory behind it (other than greed)?

Somehow, if you make poverty painful enough, the poor will stop being poor.

I can't help you if you're so closed minded that you actually believe that bullshit.

Map: How 35 countries compare on child poverty (the U.S. is ranked 34th)

1 out of 5 children in the US are in poverty.

The poor U.S. showing in this data may reflect growing income inequality. According to one metric of inequality, a statistical measurement called the gini coefficient, the U.S. economy is one of the most unequal in the developed world. This would explain why the United States, on child poverty, is ranked between Bulgaria and Romania, though Americans are on average six times richer than Bulgarians and Romanians.

Face it, America kind of sucks.

Thanks to socialism/progressivism and their socialist entitlement programs...

How do you keep poor people poor?

Already stated. Dependency.

What country has made poverty disappear by ending all aid to the poor?

The same number that made poverty disappear by increasing aid to the poor. We have housing aid, food aid, medical aid, daycare aid, job training programs, income assistance, education scholarships, etc. You'd think people would take advantage of those things. Put your kid in daycare while you go to school or job training to get own your own feet with out worry where you will lay your head at night or get your next meal. So please explain why we have so multi-generational dependents.

When you spend trillions to eradicate poverty.....but don't count government spending in the poverty stats....DERP

More than one in five American children fall below a relative poverty line, which UNICEF defines as living in a household that earns less than half of the national median.

Awesome misuse of stats!!

Lol what? What point are you even trying to make exactly?

Every single household in America could double their income and the number of households that earn less than half of the national median would remain unchanged.

Lol what he is quoting is saying that if their incomes wouid double - and they wouldn't in the first place - their poverty standing wouid not change. It's just a hypothetical that wouldn't actually happen.

Lol this isn't hard to figure out. If, hypothetically, everyone's income was doubled, those in poverty would remain in poverty. Either way, this wouldn't happen.

Good god this forum never ceases to amaze me.
