There Are ZERO Children In Poverty

[Billy000]

The top 1% DESERVE to be rich. A poor person never gave anyone a job. Poverty doesn't hurt enough. It should hurt so much that people would not choose to be poor.

Lol well I already explained to you why poverty is inevitable so the hurt doesn’t do much. And again, no one is talking about eliminating rich people. It’s also worth mentioning that even self made rich people didn’t become rich on their own. They had help.

 

[Billy000]

The point is, we are not lifting children out of poverty, we are lifting their worthless deadbeat parents out of poverty.

Poverty is inevitable. It doesn’t matter how hard a person tries. The opportunity simply does not exist for ALL poor people to get a better job. Even if it did, who would be left behind to do all the service jobs vital to the economy?

I get that it makes you feel tough, manly and superior in comparison to just assume laziness is the sole reason for poverty, but reality is a lot more complicated.

Of course not. We are making poverty more tolerable for worthless parents. "Mah chile be ongry" should be met with "when did you get your nails done?"

Does it ever bother you people that you think these caricatures in your head about people represents the reality of all poor people? Learn some facts and statistics and then you can judge.

I have no problem since I enjoy being poor.

Minimalism has its adherents

Bullshit. The rich should have their taxes cut in half paid for by reducing public benefits.

Yup. that happens. That's when they burn it all down..hungry people, desperate people. They choose to take what they want in the streets..and burn down their cities.
Most of the 10% made their money the old-fashioned way--they were born into it.

It is the reality of every poor person I ever saw including my own family.

Then burn it down and get burned down. There are plenty of people who lose family fortunes because they thought like a poor person.

Bullshit. The rich should have their taxes cut in half paid for by reducing public benefits.

90% of people on a program like food stamps are dependents, the elderly, and the disabled. The remaining 10% are in a shocking state of poverty. There is not some epidemic of mooching just because you like to think there is. It’s not that there aren’t people who would want to mooch. It’s that programs like that do not allow it when it comes to qualification.

Sounds like a caste system.

If you are saying that most of our poor are born to be poor, work and reproduce, thus replacing themselves--spend out the income, service his debt all his life..and leave his children to do all over again...you'd be right.

This is what upholds the very heart of our economic system...the last vestige of feudalism.

The serf class--the smart ones are co-opted into the manager/professional class--Next generation shits all over the very people they were 50 years back.

One could almost believe it's cyclical in nature.

Poverty is a household income under 70 thousand.

Nobody dies of malnutrition in the greatest Country in the world unless they are insane and refuse to eat. Schools are well equipped to determine if a child is malnurshed but strangely enough most kids turn out to be clinically obese. In a rare case where a kid is malnurished, social services needs to investigate the parent or parents. There are many people, God bless' em, who think they are doing the right thing by contributing cans of stuff to food pantries which are allegedly intended to feed kids but the dirty little secret is that today's kids aren't going to open a can of lima beans when they can speed dial the pizza place on their cell phones. Glitzy commercials claim that "kids go to bed hungry" but it's a meaningless cliche designed to fund the organizations.

Poverty is a household income under 70 thousand.

In San Francisco it's $105,000.

In San Francisco it's $105,000.

There are poverty stricken folk everywhere. Upwards of almostv50 percent of Americans experience it. Many full time workers live in poverty.

 

[Lesh]

One must have extra to save and invest--extra, for many will never really happen--fact of life. But it's not that they're lazy, it's that they're numbed by their life..and like it that way.

The Shareholder class likes it that way too, just sayin'.

Resigned to it. Beat down by it… is more likely

Because poverty is relative. In San Francisco a salary of $105,000 a year is poverty. Average rent is $3,300 a month Average Rental Price in San Francisco, CA & Market Trends | Zillow Rental Manager
Is this poor in Alabama or West Virginia?

But the OP says kid’s can’t be in poverty because they have no financial records.

Could he BE any more stupid?

He also thinks that passengers are not in danger when they are in a car with a drunk driver.
