Ending Poverty In America

That all depends upon one’s perspective.
How anyone could think Ukraine could win a war with Russia, merely proves western propaganda works on some people.
 


We all benefit from poverty.

If we just collected the taxes we are owed, it would add up to over 1 trillion dollars a year.

If we just collected the taxes the top 1 owe, not raise their taxes, it would add up to $175 billion a year.

It would only cost $177 billion a year to take everyone below the poverty line and bring them above it.

Less than 1% of our GDP to end poverty.

Why would you do that?

It will never make them anything but poor ...
Because they will still be the 'bottom of the barrel' ... And the poorest people in the country.
You'll just have to pay them that much again the next year ... For eternity ...
And it doesn't fix anything ... Or ever close the gap ... Because the problem isn't money you nitwit ... :auiqs.jpg:

Nothing in the US Constitution makes one man ...
Liable or responsible for another man's individual debt ... And General Welfare is not Individual Welfare ...
Go Pound Sand ... :thup:

All I know is when they were getting bonus unemployment $ during covid and the amount of foodstamps they get went up for a minute, and we weren't evicting people, suddenly the poverty problem was solved. And it cost 1% of what we spend every year. So if we did it right, if we did it better, and the rich paid what they owe, we could solve poverty.

I don't have a problem with minimum wage people getting free healthcare and foodstamps that suppliment their shitty pay.

And solve their rent problem while we are at it.

It's laughable to say the rich pay all the taxes. If you take what we make and add up all the taxes we pay, we pay a much higher percentage of what we make on taxes. The rich don't even come close.

It may be property taxes, sales tax, excise tax, capital gains, etc.

Other Purchase Taxes. User fees are taxes that are assessed on a wide variety of services, including airline tickets, rental cars, toll roads, utilities ...

"Minimum wage people" lol

You people are so fucking dumb. :badgrin:

I agree. Americans today have no real experience of the poverty experienced by the family in the Great Depression photo.

But I’m glad to live in a society that has eliminated that degree of severe poverty.

If part of the cost for that there is some fat, lazy people collecting welfare…. eh, then so be it. Who really cares?

Take a look at America’s Christian Heritage on behalf of the Republican Party under Don Trump if we let that political party stand for America.

The only way to salvage America’s Christian reputation is to dump the Republican Party and the lawless Confederacy of Red Christian states upon which it stands.

In April, Vance broke with Senate Republican leaders to vote against a foreign aid package that included nearly $61 billion for Ukraine, asserting Moscow's threat to global stability had been overstated.​

"If Ukraine thinks that it's getting another $60 billion supplemental out of the United States Congress, there's no way," he later told reporters.​
Vance has also defended his pessimistic outlook on Ukraine's ability to triumph over Russia, calling himself a "realist."​

If poverty is a problem then get rid of those who are poor .

Simply set the bar to the point which still allows the economy to run profitably and "disappear "all the extras who are worthless and non contributing.

And these so called poor people are really such poor company -- forever complaining and moaning .
They ruin good morale .

Take a leaf out of Deep State and remove 70 million of the Useless and watch America Become Great Again .


 
Did Ukraine have a choice?
Lol. As I thought. You’ve accepted the propaganda.

Of course Ukraine had a choice. If you knew the history before Russia invaded, you’d realize your question reflects utter ignorance.

Do you think Russia was unprovoked?

Why would you do that?

The problem is always money. We see it in black communities. What the lack of economic opportunity does.

AND, we see it happening to uneducated whites today. And not just men. Uneducated white women too. Think about that. Only they are dealing with this. Every other community is not. Mexicans, Arabs, Blacks, Jews, Asians, none of them are dealing with the death of despair that uneducated whites are. Everyone else is doing better than they were 10 or 20 years ago. Except uneducated whites. We see since their good jobs went to China and Mexico, they've been dying of drug od's, alcohol, suicides, crime has gone up, etc.

In other words poor whites are starting to show us that they act just like blacks do when you take away their economic opportunities.

This is why Trump won. These morons showed up and voted for him for the first time. Because illegals got it better than them. And illegals are eating their dogs too.

We call them deplorables.

Providing free money doesn't fix the problems associated with systemic poverty.
There's no need to pretend that a bunch of people are going to go to school ... And raise their standard of living ...
Because they got a check in their mailbox ... :auiqs.jpg:

Poverty ... And the conditions that lead to it ... Don't care what color you are.
That's not suggesting that some people are not in a tougher spot than others ...
When it comes to getting out of poverty,

Making any excuse for failure ... And paying for continued failure ... Is never going to fix the problem.
At best ... It just leads to inflation ... And the devaluation of our currency.
You cannot punish success ... In attempts to remove failure.

You're just talking Critical Theory and Class Warfare ... And the Marxist model ...
That most often leads to the murder and/or starvation of millions ... :thup:

....

It all goes back to that stupid saying ... "The rising tide raises all boats".

Where it is fundamentally true ... It neglects to add one important factor.
The tide will never put you in a different boat.
You're still going to have problems with your shitty rowboat full of holes ...
And just deeper water to drown in ... :auiqs.jpg:

You know what happens when they try to fix that ... They make programs that favor minorities.

But ... The established white Contractor ... Makes his white wife the owner of the company ...
And they become a Minority Owned Contracting Company ... Eligible for all the Minority Specific Contracts ...
And favorable to politicians that want to pretend they are fixing things.

Then IQ2 comes in here ... Pissing and whining about how white women ...
Are the greatest beneficiaries of Affirmative Action and DEI programs and policies ...
Like, no shit, dumbass ... :auiqs.jpg:

Ask young black male entrepreneurs ... What happens to the money before it's gets to them ... They'll tell you.
They generally say that it doesn't get much farther than City Hall ... In kickbacks and Democrats supporting Democrats ...
And pretending they are doing something good ... To keep idiots like you voting for them.

No. It’s reality. Russia doesn’t have anything anyone wants. If they believe they were provoked that’s the equivalent of believing there are boogie men in their closet.

How would you do that?
