Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Anyone that isn't rich should think twice before they ever vote republican again! I am dead serious.

It is a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

It is wrong and it needs to stop!

 

[EvilCat Breath]

No wonder so many Americans hate the UN.

This is the road to ruins for the vast majority of Americans...

This is the model of Africa and central America. Is that what you wish for? All the wealth in the hands of 5-10% of the population and most everyone else being nothing more then serfs.

India is a good example of this also.

We could send twenty million, or more, uneducated illegal foreign nationals back to their country of origin and reduce those figures here and boost the figures back up in their country of origin..

*****SMILE*****

If the poor had wealth to transfer why are we feeding them?

 

[Kosh]

More proof that the far left needs the US to be a failure in order for them to keep their power!

That's funny, since the inner city shitholes where most of the violence occurs are generally populated by blacks and latinos and run by liberals.

That UN building is prime real estate. Evict them to Syria
