UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures

[petro]

Fascist...
A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions.

There should be some law that states conservative ideals are illegal and to be rejected.

The first statement is a perfect example of the 2nd.

Sure...and under Obama everything was wonderful.....enough libs...you are looking unhinged....

Actually for the eight years Barack was president the USA was looking good. Now it is going to hell in a handbasket.

Was that a joke? The economy has done much better in the last few years, than when Obama started off. His programs and policies did nothing useful.

When Obama took office the DOW was below 8,000 and we were losing 745,000 jobs a month. He had 8 years of steady job gains and the DOW rose 11,000 points. He dealt with the second worst financial crisis this country ever experienced. Thank goodness the newly enacted financial regulations were rolled back so we can do it all over again.

obama didn’t do shit…

He was a community organizer

without a clue..

His stimulus plan was a sham…

obamas answer to everything

was quantitative easing.

obama and all of his supporters are ignorant.

UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures
Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Anyone that isn't rich should think twice before they ever vote republican again! I am dead serious.

For the empty skulls who would cheer this, guess which way the crime rate goes when people can't eat or feed their families. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

First, the vast majority of crime is caused by people in broken families, where the parents are not taking care of their family anyway.
The father isn't even in the home, and doesn't care. The mother is on welfare and food stamps.

The idea that job loss, causes crime, is ridiculous. Crime causes job loss.

No one in American is dying in the streets. I've worked at the food pantry, and I've handed out food, and those people are not skinny.

In is a known fact, that obesity is higher among the poor.

The whole reason poor areas are so poor, is because no one is willing to invest in those areas. Why? Because of the crime.

This is why the BLM group, is the most damaging to the very people it claims to be supporting. The best way to help those poor people to get better jobs, higher paying jobs, is to have more investment in poor areas. The only way that you are going to get more investment into poor areas, is when stores don't have to worry about shoplifting, and stolen shopping carts, and businesses don't need to put up security cameras, and have rent-a-cops on patrol.

The BLM groups have done the exact opposite by fighting the police, which pull out of those areas, causing crime to go up.

Hmm yeah, always blame the victim, straight from the rapists handbook.

Hillary wrote that handbook dumb ass.

You want equality? Everyone pay 20% of their income no matter the source in a fair flat tax. That’s equality.

A rich guy whose income is from an inheritance and a poor guy whose income is from actual work do not contribute equally to the economy. The poor guy contributes more.

You are full of Shit....

The Rich guy pays a tax on his

property and everything he buys.

The government (and those that support it) are concerned about people who hold on to their wealth.

If I have a million dollars and invest it ...
I am taxed on the capital gains it can earn.

If I give a million people $1 ...
They will most likely spend that dollar ...
And the government will have more opportunity to tax that dollar as it flows through the economy.

The government wants the increased revenues generated from the taxes.
Taxing my capital gains gets the government less of my dollar ...
When someone spends that dollar, the government gets sales tax, business tax, and income tax out of it.
The government will keep taxing that same dollar every time it changes hands, pays for goods, or pays someone's earnings.

The government will say they want to help the People ... They just want more of your money.
And ... They will blame the rich people for the government's greed.
Any dollar you keep does nothing for the government ... They need you to spend your dollar so they can tax it ...

Hmm. Makes one wonder why the leftists would like our 2nd amendment revoked? Gets you thinking, most certainly, looking at the way they are trying to vilify everyone who doesn't agree with them. This latest loss has really put them over the edge, and they have gotten way out of control obviously.

 

[ChrisL]

Love that headline "US INEQUALITY REACHING DANGEROUS LEVELS. . . . " Bah ha ha! Yes it is, for those of us concerned about our constitutional RIGHTS anyways and for those of us who voted for Trump! If the leftists weren't such transparent tards, we might really have something to be concerned about. Thankfully, they just aren't very smart.

Capitalism is founded on and is created for capitalists....the 1 percent....to keep making a profit. It is not created with the middle class in mind. Econ 102.

You are ignorant beyond belief….

Capitalism has created the Greatest Country

that has ever existed, with more opportunity

for all than any other place on earth.

Without financial incentives you wouldn’t the

medical and technological wonders we have.

You dumb ass liberals are a danger to all of Mankind….

Well of course the U.N. would say that.

But nobody cares

Hating America is ghey

This thread shows how ill informed the republican/conservative mind is. So much mis information has been said for so long and so loud they believe it all. I lived through the Booooosh economic depression and the recovery that Barack manifested. There should be some law that states conservative ideals are illegal and to be rejected.

Tell us just what polices did obongo

enact that did all you claim…………….

Yes, I guess the leftists are big fans of TARP, or welfare for big huge corporations! Lol.

Blah-Blah-Blah ...
There should be some law that states conservative ideals are illegal and to be rejected.

One of the best conservative ideas some states follow ...
Is when states have constitutions requiring a balanced budget ...

That's when your grand ideas and desires actually pay homage to your bank account.

Surely you jest?! Those at the bottom are worse off because of the rising tide of staple living expenses

Yet you said nothing under Obama. Just another foolish Godvernment worshipper

 

[BlackSand]

The problem with your faulty "logic" is that EVERYBODY is better off under this booming Trump economy. That includes those at the economic bottom.

Surely you jest?! Those at the bottom are worse off because of the rising tide of staple living expenses.

Those at the bottom are worse off because they haven't accomplished anything ...
Are at the same place they started ...
And seem to think it is acceptable to be waiting for someone to come along and save them ...

What even funnier is the nut jobs that think the government is capable of doing anything for them.

It is just so obvious that the leftists do not control their politicians. The politicians control the leftists. The fact that they can go from screaming about "income equality" to supporting "TARP" just makes it so obvious. They scream about what their masters tell them to scream about. Right now, it is Trump. Lol. Oh well, it is at least very entertaining to watch them nash teeth and wail.

Yet the Gub'Mit seems more than capable of greasing the 1%'s ride

And those that didn't pay attention to trickle down economics still believe it helps them...

No, WEALTH is not going to trickle down to you. You have to work and work hard to become wealthy. Nothing is going to come and land in your lap. Nobody is going to make you wealthy. However trickle down does make sense when it comes to JOBS and the economy in general. Hello? Common sense 101.

Yeah ... Sooner or later you will figure out the government is no good for you.
But ... You can keep granting them power over your lives, concerns, money or whatever crazy shit you want to chase ...

Just stop bitching about your ignorance ...

If you make a hostile and/or difficult environment for businesses, then you are NOT going to be seeing many job opportunities or other opportunities. You are NOT hurting the companies. You are hurting yourself and everyone else.

agree or disagree?
