Ending Poverty In America

[sealybobo]

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

How would you do that?

Did you listen to the guy? The rich don't pay the taxes they are supposed to pay and we don't have enough IRS agents to catch them. If the rich just paid what they owe, we'd have exactly that amount. So the rich are dodging $177 billion a year in taxes.

I think it's a fact.

 

[gipper]

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.

You should know that post is utter ignorance.

Russia has massive natural resources which it is selling effectively to many nations.

Of course they were provoked but consumers of corporate media like you, have no understanding of the truth.

 

[sealybobo]

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?

The history you think you know, is right wing spin. Probably came from Moscow.

you dont need more IRS agents

What you need is a simpler tax code

I confess I didnt stick around for the $177 billion poverty fix scheme

We spend far more than that already with the countless welfare programs

And they have not eliminated poverty

Yeah knowing the establishment narrative is bs, makes me a Russian. Am I a commie too?

Only in America do you find this black or white thinking…aka ignorance.

100 06 epiaz …~… Saint Ding’s white Christian nationalist Republicans are siding with the authoritarian evil in the world against western liberal civilization, and democracies who will pay the price to preserve it. Saint Ding must be proud of that American Christian heritage being left to our grandchildren..

tl/dr

JD Vance said in a Pro-Putin speech …~… "Vladimir Putin is not Adolf Hitler. It doesn't mean he's a good guy, but he has significantly less capability than the German leader did," Vance said in a speech on the Senate floor.

whut I say cvi …~… JD Vance is a lawless Republican dick just like every single lawless Republican dick who voted for the criminal enterprise that swallowed the entire Republican Party on January 6, 2021 and thereafter.

How can a rational human being say that Vladimir Putin is not Adolph Hitler because he has significantly less capability the German fascist had in 1939. Vance should know that Putin has the capability to destroy all life on earth at his fingertips; Adolf Hitler did not. If Putin didn’t have a nuclear reel, he would’ve been wiped off the face of the Earth in 20 minutes after invading cream using conventional weapons.. Vince is an idiot.

Leaving the nuclear nightmare scenario out of it, think about all the dead civilians in Ukraine, women children, old people, terrorized and murderrd in their beds while they’re sleeping in apartment buildings due to Putin’s less capability than Adolf Hitler.

When republican billionaires finance republican politicians who are idiots they really hit the sweet spot with JD Vance.

The Republican Party is the sickest, most demented lawless useless political party in the history of the world.

tl/dr

did it for ya.

Political science professor M. Steven Fish says …~…. The dems don’t need to pander to polls to fight for justice.

CHAUNCEY DEVEGA for Salon : How did you read Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy? Trump attempted to publicly humiliate Zelenskyy and make him beg for America’s continued assistance in Ukraine’s freedom struggle against the Russian invaders.

M. Steven Fish: Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the rest thought that they’d humiliated Zelenskyy, but that’s not what at least half of Americans and most of the rest of the world saw. They saw a mighty man of consummate integrity and courage defend his country, decency, and democracy in the face of a farcical onslaught. They saw Trump and Vance forfeiting their own nation’s power, honor, and global leadership to please a man, Vladimir Putin, whose greatest career passions have been to undermine American power and prestige in the world and conquer former Soviet territories, starting with our staunch ally, Ukraine. …~… Trump’s antics are not popular at home; in the Russia-Ukraine war, 52 percent ofb). A slight majority supports continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons, and 96 percent consider West European countries as “allies” or “friendly” powers, while four percent consider them “unfriendly” or “enemies.” Trump’s foul attacks on Zelenskyy are intended for an audience of one: Vladimir Putin.

Did you have similar concerns for the Palestinians?….think about all the dead civilians in Ukraine, women children, old people, terrorized and murderrd in their beds while they’re sleeping in apartment buildings?

 

[DGS49]

Many wise economists over the years have pointed out that if government pays people to do something, they do more of it, and if government punishes people for doing something they do less of it.

Imagine the result of the government of the U.S. paid people to do nothing. How many people would CHOOSE to do nothing, and get paid for it?

This person is a fool.

If only government would stop paying big corporations making weapons of war, funding intelligence agencies to spy on Americans and overthrow foreign governments, and funding terrorist groups.

Poverty

Not Poverty:

Fattys on parade at the welfare office.

That says it all.

 

[sealybobo]

The entire purpose of the DemoKKKrat party in America is to create poor people.

Your party's results speak for themselves.

Looks like Trump's policies are making us all poorer. Turns out we weren't lying when we said Biden had a great economy. Last year the USA had the greatest economy in the world. We were doing amazing compared to every other country. How we doing today? I hear shelves are going to be empty soon. Good thing we freaked out and stocked up when Trump first threatened tariffs. Now we have to pray we can outlast China.

Trump got mad at Amazon because they were going to put how much tariffs are costing us on each order. So

$100 for this widget
$80 for the product
$20 is tariff

Trump costing us $20 more. We are all poorer because of him. Why the fuck did you vote for him? So he could fix what wasn't broken? Or break what was working?

Of course I will. I hope I am wrong. But I also don't want to see a bunch of fake wins and you tell me Trump made America great again.

So do you still believe in Trump? You think he's doing the right things?

I like getting rid of gang bangers too but Trump was just duped with a photoshop picture of that guys hand. Trump insisted that the M S 1 3 was tatooed on the guys fingers. We have an idiot in the White House!

Btw, you should have voted for Al Gore. He did DOGE first. Only he used a scalpel not a chainsaw.

We can reduce poverty by simply redefining it, the same way we have reduced crime. For example, Murder 1 is down because of the magic of plea deals.

The minimum income needed to survive in America varies greatly depending on location and individual circumstances, but generally, a single person needs to earn at least $70,000 to cover basic needs in a major city like New York. For a family of four, the need could be as high as $235,000
An individual must earn $96,500 a year before taxes to afford housing, groceries, transportation and entertainment, while also paying off debt and putting some money into savings
To survive in the US, a single adult generally needs an income of around $55,000 to $60,000 annually

To survive in the US, a single adult generally needs an income of around $55,000 to $60,000 annually

For retirees on a fixed income, states like Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee are often recommended. These states offer a lower cost of living, particularly in housing, and some have tax advantages for retirees, such as no state income tax or exemptions for Social Security and retirement income.

al gore?.....lol....

He was just on Bill Maher. I hope he runs. He's only 77 years old. Very very smart man. Not like Trump who's honestly a very stupid man.

Like you know how I'm an idiot but super successful in business? Trump is like that only he has power to do the stupid things he thinks/hears/says.

I'm waiting for you to admit you wish you voted for Kamala and you wish she won instead of Trump. Not ready to do that yet? Just wait. I'm already on the "I told you so" tour.

McDonald's Store Traffic Falls Unexpectedly As Diners Grow Uneasy About Economy​

The burger giant’s troubles were particularly acute in the U.S., where same-store sales slumped 3.6%

Wall Street had been expecting an increase of nearly 2%

The trouble was particularly acute in the U.S., where same-store sales slumped 3.6%. That was the biggest U.S. decline McDonald’s has seen since 2020, when a pandemic shuttered stores and restaurants and other public spaces nationwide.
