It is the GOP that hates the poor, that much is clear. Every time there is a democratic president, the poor and middle class flourish. When there is a republican president, the poor and middle class alone face the full brunt of their regressive and damaging policies. Democrats are overall better for the economy. Under our leadership unemployment shrinks and our market expands. Low unemployment rates and a healthy market are extremely important when looking at the living standard of our poor. Time and time again, republicans have instituted legislation that is directly damaging to the development and uplifting process of our nation's poor. Things like corporate welfare, low minimum wage, war on drugs, stop and frisk, even trumps elimination of EPA regulations- disproportionately hurt low income Americans. It is republican policies, systemic oppression, and the extreme wealth inequity in our country that keeps poor families in the cycle of generational poverty.
Want to break generational poverty?
Want to create an economy where we can all be successful? Stop voting in Republican critters would be a good start!
total bullshit. during Obama's 8 years the number of americans below the poverty level increased, the number on food stamps increased, the number unemployed or underemployed increased, the number on welfare increased.
As to jobs, the only jobs created by obozo the great Kenyan messiah, were part time minimum wage jobs with no future and no benefits.
Now, wealth inequality. during those same years the gap between rich and poor became larger than ever before in our history.
AND, the national debt was doubled.
Obama failed, democrats failed, liberalism failed. You are FOS
