The goal of American leftwing politics is about ensuring that no one working 40 hours a week lives in poverty.

You don’t understand how nutrition works. Getting fat off of the McDonald’s dollar menu drive thru does not mean your nutritional needs are being met.

Yep.....but our people are still the best fed in the world.....until you guys destroy our farmers and ranchers.

I cook 100% of all my food and I only eat one meal a day. Macros are 70% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carb. No dextrose or msg derivatives. No corn products. No grains.

I will bet I am 1000x more fit and nourished than those "poor" (lazy) idiots eating 4000 calories a day on McDonalds, and I get it at 1/5 the cost.

Game. Sad. Match.

Fuck off democratic socialists. You lose.

Seems sort of a miserable diet but tat's fine if it works for you.

Me, I'm firmly in the camp of getting shed of EBT and going back to the USDA food boxes.....Make .gov cheese great again.

It is pretty miserable for the first 6 to 8 months until you overcome all of the insulin resistance (which is the cause of American fatassitude). Then, the cravings go away and one meal a day is plenty.

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.

Democratic presidents are "more willing to heed historical lessons," but Republicans cling to "magical" tax cuts and deregulation theories during economic downturns, states a new economic analysis.

12 Ways the Trump Administration Has Deepened Inequality

Okay but it doesn't help bridge the gap when democratic policies are making the divide even steeper. Energy poverty was a problem before Biden. Now it is a real problem for even more people, for instance. Rent control schemes insure there are fewer houses to be rented, not more of them and drives up the price. I mean I am all for helping the poor, but when the DNC wants to force me to pay 4 years worth of college tuition for a tiny car that runs on magic, they can kiss my arse.

The issue is the poverty wages that people actually make.

You could pay all 37 million people living in poverty $40k a year for less than the $1.6 trillion Dems just blew on two PORK bills in congress.

Lol I think you’re just pissy that democrats are actually passing bills in congress at all. Republicans historically suck dick at this.

You don’t understand how nutrition works. Getting fat off of the McDonald’s dollar menu drive thru does not mean your nutritional needs are being met.

How does attacking farmers and ranchers and destroying their ability to produce food help the poor?

 

[BluesLegend]

I already pay umpteen times my 'fair share' of taxes. Before you mooching vultures beg me for more of MY money you need to consider other options. Like not wasting trillions on Dem stupid shit.

 

[BluesLegend]

Lol I think you’re just pissy that democrats are actually passing bills in congress at all. Republicans historically suck dick at this.

I bitch slapped you into next week fool. Fact, Dems prioritize PORK spending on stupid shit instead of assisting the poor. Shove that up your wealth gap.

That is such a Big Fat Lie.

The goal of Leftwing Politics is Power: the power to turn people into slaves of the state and to extract every bit of productivity out of them in order to benefit the Party of the Left, their cronies and their clients.

Don't try using logic on the left, they will huff a crack pipe and start rambling.

Horseshit.

Your party abandoned the working class during the Barry Oboingo years, and bragged about in the pages of the NYT.

Yours is now the party of uber-wealthy Wall Street banksters and hedge funders, neocon warmonger weapons manufacturers, teachers unions, career bureaucrats, and the permanent parasitic underclass that depends upon handouts.

You fascist slugs are the worst enemy the working class has.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Lol this is so stupid. No one ever said tue US was a third world country. God the logical fallacies never cease.

Starvation is eradicated in America, because of capitalism.

But you want a command economy.

Capitalism provides a better life for more people than any system ever known - FAR BETTER.

That you attack it reveals that your motives are far from altruistic.

Well, we're not in a recession because we're not dying of FAMINE, donchyanknow.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Lol you are such a moron “uhh well we aren’t Africa therefore everyone is doing fine.”

The gulf between poverty and comfort is wider than the grand canyon.

We have no poverty in America - only the homeless - who are a creation of the democrat welfare state.

And even in the Nazi shithole of California, the homeless will only go hungry by choice. Food is always available to them.

Again… he would need to explain why it is that left wingers are destroying farming and ranching around the world….Sri lanka, the Netherlands, next Canada…..I feeding the poor i their goal…..as opposed to their real goal, reducing the human population based on the myth of over population.

Does that mean the economy is doing well under Biden?

The federal government has no authority to address poverty.

Actually that is a prime responsibility of government.

The Nazis want to control the food supply and starve billions of people to death.

The power to control whether people eat is absolute power. The left - the democrats and other tyrants - seek power above all.
