Republicans think leftwing politics in the US is about communism but this is of course ridiculous. Has any democrat in office proposed this or any other solution involving ending capitalism itself? Nope. Not even close. Eliminating the wealthy class is also not on the table. All American lefties want to do is reduce poverty, strengthen the middle class, and making sure that the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes EFFECTIVELY. The EFFECTIVE tax rate is what a class actually pays in taxes. The OFFICIAL tax rate is what they are expected to pay but because of deductions and loopholes, they do not pay that tax rate. Why this concept escapes republicans is beyond my understanding.
Without a doubt both parties have failed to do much of anything when it comes to alleviating poverty, but here’s the difference with democrats: they actually make attempts at the issue. They at least TRY to pass policies that meet this goal such as raising the minimum wage or child tax credits. Hell at least they passed the child tax credit to begin with even if it expired.
What do republicans do for the poor? Absolutely nothing. No attempt. Nada. That goes for the middle class as well. They don’t do jack shit. Doesn’t all of this bother Republican voters? The middle class shrunk and the poor became more poor under Bush and Trump but for some reason that does not bother them.
Of course it is worth mentioning that, historically on average, economic metrics like GDP and job growth are better under democrats than republicans.

"the world needs ditchdiggers too"Let me explain some basic logic to you. Higher paying jobs are greatly outnumbered by lower paying jobs. This is a mathematical certainty. That means that if everyone in poverty tried as best they could to get better paying jobs, millions would inevitably fail because the opportunity simply doesn’t exist. And even if the opportunity was there, who would be left behind to do those service jobs that are vital to the economy?
You're a delusional lying TDS afflicted moron. The fact of the matter is that under Trump the poverty rate in America plunged to an all-time record low.What do republicans do for the poor? Absolutely nothing. No attempt. Nada. That goes for the middle class as well. They don’t do jack shit. Doesn’t all of this bother Republican voters? The middle class shrunk and the poor became more poor under Bush and Trump but for some reason that does not bother them.
Why is it a different issue?

The War on Poverty was supposed to end it. It is closing in on 60 years.Poverty itself is inevitable but if poverty only grows over time like it is doing, it becomes a different issue.
Now you’re catching on!Suffer more than they are now under Bidung?
Why don’t you idiots ever actually read what’s in a post? No shit the war is a failure. I didn’t suggest otherwise.The War on Poverty was supposed to end it. It is closing in on 60 years.
Are you suggesting that republicans are fiscally responsible in comparison?They just plan to destroy the country economically through spending that cripples us......then they will implement what they want.......they know better than to say it out loud, but they still can't control themselves as they tell us the pain of not having enough money is what they want....
Who advocates for that?Impoverished population? How about letting a couple more million cross the border and see if that helps all the "impoverished".
Why don’t you idiots ever actually read what’s in a post? No shit the war is a failure. I didn’t suggest otherwise.
Sure they do. They have the authority to spend outrageous sums of money so that everything is "free" so that inflation then destroys the wealth of the nation.The federal government has no authority to address poverty.
tough shit.Then the country will only suffer and major economic catastrophe is inevitable regardless of who is in power.
Uhh okay but if the opportunity to leave their job behind for a better paying one does not exist, that is a moot point.If burger flippers are hard to find, the wages for burger flippers are increased. If the market is flooded with qualified doctors, their pay will decrease. See how that works?
Quit using words you don’t know the meaning of.tough shit.
I am immune to emotional appeals.
The Constitution is the enemy of "Democratic Socialism" so you can fuck right off, commie.
Because government can't fix poverty.Why don’t you idiots ever actually read what’s in a post? No shit the war is a failure. I didn’t suggest otherwise.
They should do what nature demands a FUCKING DIE!!!Uhh okay but if the opportunity to leave their job behind for a better paying one does not exist, that is a moot point.
Yeah let’s just be defeatist pussies and let poverty grow and grow and the middle class just shrinks. Great plan.Because government can't fix poverty.
God you’re just noise. Time to get off the computer idiot. Momma is calling you.They should do what nature demands a FUCKING DIE!!!
and you too
