I am a registered democrat for about 50 years------I support SOLVING
SIMPLE POVERTY------but despite my age----I AM NOT DEMENTED---
no one has ever come up with a viable way to SOLVE SIMPLE POVERTY---
just ameliorate it a bit
just politics. Who got richer for simply being, already rich?
The right wing loves to whine in public venues, regardless about the poor.
A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed can solve for simple poverty; means tested welfare can be focused on the rest, more effectively.
