How do we stop "the poor" from being so problematic?

[xotoxi]

True, but it is not up to the successful to give free rides…

Which is another way of saying it is not up to the successful to reduce violent crime, drug addition, broken homes, child abuse, and poor educational outcomes which are all closely linked to poverty. It's up the unsuccessful, the failures in life. Thus, we will always have the poor with us.

Even the Roman Empire was reliant of subsidizing the public masses with food, water, and even psychological tools like entertainment.

But who would pay for the extermination facilities?

Costly infrastructure is costly.

yeah, the right wing can't go for it, if it requires higher taxes.

Some of the cost could be ofset by melting down any jewelry or gold fillings that are taken from the poor prior to their extermination.

And thanks to trump, we don't need to worry about pollution caused by the cremation facilities, as there is no such thing as pollution.

Ground up pulverized bones and cremated ashes can be used as fertilizer. Flesh and muscle can be used as pet food. Skins can be used as a material for making lamp shades and various ornaments.

Fellas....you're drama queen antics are cute and awfully entertaining but there really is a simple solution.
Legislate to make it criminal for bottom feeders to reproduce....DONE!
When one gives life knowing full well that the invoice will be passed on to taxpayers one has committed theft.
Give all able bodied lowlife's a fishing pole and a tent and drop them in a resource rich forest...DONE!
The simplicity scares the shit out of you emotionally thinking, noble whacko's....haha

Explain how your proposal can be implemented without grossly violating the Constitution. Any such legislation denying a person the right to procreate would violate the 1rst Amendment.

Oh no...there is no denial of ones right to procreate...one must simply show ability to be self funded and self sustained before procreating. DONE!

The newly formed Department of Reproduction would create a TON of jobs. EVERY time that an individual planned to have sex, each partner would have to file an application, which would have to be reviewed by a federal employee. PERFECT!

[Rustic]

What can and or will be done about it politically?
In keeping with current board rhetoric let's not be scared to get real honest here.
Our poor are our worst parents...they create more of their same.
Our poor suck the most government tit.
Our poor commits the most crime.
Our poor does the most drugs.
Our poor drinks and smokes the most.
Our poor have the most children they can't afford.
Our poor litters and vandalizes the most.
Our poor drives uninsured.
Our poor commits the most animal cruelty.
I could go on and on...and no Libby's, let's not deflect and divert to Wall Street criminals, big corporations..blah, blah, blah...Let's get real, let's get serious about our taxpayer draining bottom feeders....Whatta ya say?

As it says in the Bible, you will always have the poor with you. This is confirmed in our laws as poverty is permanently established by law. No matter how wealthy the country may be we will always have the poverty.

Conservatives hope to starve them out of existence and Liberals hope to buy them out. However, as confirmed in law and the Bible, we always have them with us.

True, but it is not up to the successful to give free rides…

Yes, shit happens. Throwing money and federal government control at anything solves nothing...

Unlike rightwing fear mongering, it does not cause inflation, does not impact employment and does not devalue the dollar

The facts disprove your left-wing propaganda talking points. Hours are cut back, jobs are eliminated, businesses close, and it creates inflation. Those are the facts. Facts that the left-wing nutjobs are learning the hard way in California. This is the reality that you don't want to accept:

$15 Minimum Wage Sends California Businesses Fleeing

There are just some jobs that are absolutely not worth any more than seven dollars an hour, like flipping burgers and stocking shelves. Those are beginner/temporary jobs and should be paid as so

I guess small business owners will have to do more for less; thank goodness they are not, all about the money.

Raising the minimum wage on beginner/temporary jobs only hurt small business…

There are no "beginner/temporary jobs", there are only jobs. The myth that only teenagers work at McDonalds or Walmart is just that - a myth. The average age of a those making minimum wage at McDonalds, is 27. Hardly a teenager, or a beginning worker.

All of the jobs my father did as an employee are gone off-shore, or replaced by automation. Many of the jobs I did as a young office clerk have been replaced by automation. I have watched entire sectors of the legal services business disappear with computerization. I have so many clerical skills that no one uses anymore, from my days working for banks before computerization. But workers either evolve or they get left behind.

I'm smart, and a quick study. Acquiring new skills was easy for me, and I have a natural affiliation for computers. In the 1980's I started writing simple legal apps which helped me do my work better and faster than anybody else, and then I started selling them.

Flipping burgers and stocking shelves will never be a "career" and never should be…

No they don't. They need their employers to pay them a living wage. In every other first world country in the world except the United States, workers are paid a living wage. Full time workers are not provided with income supplements, nor do are they given earned income credits. All workers pay income taxes. Only in the United States are federal taxes used to supplement the wages of full-time workers.

McDonalds Canada pays workers in Canada $11.40 an hour, as does Walmart, and yet both companies are highly profitable here. The same is true in every other first world country where both of these companies do business. The idea that paying their employees a living wage would drive these companies out of business is a total fallacy.

The richest country in the world, with the richest corporations in the world, don't pay working people a living wage. And you keep voting for the party that refuses to change this paradigm.

You are disparaging people who are willing to work at low paying jobs without knowing why that person may be restricted to a low paying job. On the one hand, you are whining about people collecting assistance and on the other hand whining about them when they work at a low paying job.

These jobs are not worth any more than seven dollars an hour, you can't expect businesses to make any money off their labor by paying $15 an hour. The Business determines what jobs get paid what, no way should the federal government get in there and dictate such a thing because they have no credibility... the motherfuckers.

Raising the minimum wage on beginner/temporary jobs only hurt small business…

There are no "beginner/temporary jobs", there are only jobs. The myth that only teenagers work at McDonalds or Walmart is just that - a myth. The average age of a those making minimum wage at McDonalds, is 27. Hardly a teenager, or a beginning worker.

All of the jobs my father did as an employee are gone off-shore, or replaced by automation. Many of the jobs I did as a young office clerk have been replaced by automation. I have watched entire sectors of the legal services business disappear with computerization. I have so many clerical skills that no one uses anymore, from my days working for banks before computerization. But workers either evolve or they get left behind.

I'm smart, and a quick study. Acquiring new skills was easy for me, and I have a natural affiliation for computers. In the 1980's I started writing simple legal apps which helped me do my work better and faster than anybody else, and then I started selling them.

Flipping burgers and stocking shelves will never be a "career" and never should be…

...but it is. And there is nothing that anyone can do about it.

Na, those type of jobs don't deserve a "career" paying type of a paycheck. Mainly because no one can make any money off $15 an hour for burger flippers and shelf stockers and the like.

Which is why people working those types of jobs need external financial assistance.

That should not be the businesses problem… We are not in this altogether, it does not take a ******* village and there should not be a safe space on every block for snowflakes.
