Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says

Quote

A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States was shocked at the level of environmental degradation in some areas of rural Alabama, saying he had never seen anything like it in the developed world.
"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I'd have to say that I haven't seen this," Philip Alston, the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, told Connor Sheets of AL.comearlier this week as they toured a community in Butler County where "raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits."

Well, that is why Republican policies are bad.

They don't care about educating the population and believe the poor should simply hold a lower position in life.

They don't care about a safetynet for their poor or disabled

They don't care if you're sick and dying and hospitals should be able to destroy your life if you do get sick! Work 3 jobs with cancer sucker!!!

They don't care about fair pay or workers rights

They don't care about environmental standards. China or India level of pollution is in our future if we keep electing republicans.

They don't care if income inequality makes 90% of the society poorer then Africa, while a few percent have it all.

The republican party wouldn't care if we were poorer then Somalia. The truth is this mindset is probably going to lead to the downfall of this nation.

And to be frank this is why they will elect Roy moore as preaching god is somehow more important then living within a civilized society.

Obviously, the UN official didn't visit Detroit or some of the other Democrat run hell hole cities. .....

Matthew has gone from full blown racist rightie to a full blown liberal loon in a handful of years.

Inexplicable

Actually Alabama has a lower poverty rate than New York City

The cause is evident: If you want poverty, vote for Democrats. If you want prosperity, vote for Republicans.

i'm praying that Alabama is going to finally turn things around for themselves beginning with this week's historic vote for Doug Jones...

Doug Jones Is Just A Normal Polling Error Away From A Win In Alabama

The people I know in Alabama all live in plush gated communities with great jobs. Great recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, and golfing. I love it there.

Unpossible. The liberals keep telling me that everyone in Alabama lives in a run-down trailer house, with five rusted broken cars in the yard, three dogs, and chickens everywhere.

Were they lying to me or something?
