Starve????
Wow!
Have you been hornswoggled.
Amazing what they can get you to say when you're as dumb as a box of rocks.
"As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually
the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels.
Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II."

"Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II."
Wise up.
So you are saying that they shouldn't be allowed to have good meals, because of the statistic of people from 50-60-70 years ago?
Ever heard of genetic engineering and added hormones?
They didn't have that back then.
You see, nity....here's the prob- you are exactly what the left needs to maintain their power: your heart is in the right place; it is your head that is lacking.
1. The average family income for working folks is about 50-55k. When all benefits and in-kind transfers are calculated.....the 'poor family' gets more than that. So workers are supporting non-workers with more than the workers make!!!!
Think about that for a minute.
And when reading the propaganda about poverty incomes, realize that they leave out the income transfers from various government programs: benefits are substantial and the recipients pay nothing.
Those in the bottom 20% of income recipients receive over 70% of their income in such transfers. Now, why doesnt the Old Left Media tell this?
a. In 2001 cash and in-kind transfers accounted for
77.8% of said recipients income. How fair is it for the Left to tell you that their income is actually 22.2% of what it actually is?
Reynolds, Income and Wealth, p. 28
b. This tends to explain how
Americans living below the poverty level spend $1.75 for every $1 of income.

2. Do you know how the government calculates the 'poverty line'? I do.
Do you know they generally raise that level each year?
Get a library card....pick up a book, and stop getting your research fed to you by the Daily Show and the NYTimes.
