Why does poverty exist in America?

Why does poverty exist in America?

jews

it doesn't by the worlds standards

because americans are fucking lazy

Same reason you can't have proper schools and healthcare, because you're just 56% white.

oh, ok then

and because you spend all your money on bombing and invading other countries..

good thing no one cares what a cuckold has to say

Because people without money are poor

america's poor live better than most of the world.

America is rich on average by any objective standard. Although, there are many rich Jews and many poor Blacks, but that would trivial to correct.

LOL

GIT A JERB WELFARE QUEENS

Because welfare exists and most people are lazy/inconsiderate

Not every one deserves to be rich. Not everyone one deserves to have money. And the US is the only place in the world where we have an obesity problem with our poor. Look at OP's pic, does that guy look like he is starving? In fact he is probably a drug addict who will not hold down a job because it will keep him from getting high.

if there weren't so many damn minorities then we could support our own better

Cuz ppl insist living in cities

Niggers.

fpbp

The market is too restricted.

Capitalism

Mentally ill folks who dont want to take their medication or can't afford their medication and can't function without it.

I would say mental health is probably the biggest factor, most homeless suffer from one form or another

k.

Because the Fed steal the money of the people to spend on munitions which cost millions and are destroyed upon use, instead of allowing Americans to keep their own fuckin money because God forbid anyone buy their own guns and own their own land, that what our soldiers and police are for, am I right my fellow statists

This.
There is a TON of farm-hand work available all over the USA but these faggots want to live on hand outs. They could be making good money but choose not to.
I would do it myself but I have a condition which prevents me from doing such intense labor so I just work two part time jobs while getting a degree in CS

Even though there is a staggering amount of Americans that live in poverty, they actually live better than most poor people around the world. In third world shitholes, the poor live in one room mud huts. Here, our poor live in cheap housing, and nigger infested ghettos.

Oversupply of labor leads to low salaries.

to scare the middle class

Mentally ill/deficient
government subsidies for the poor
learned helplessness
nihilism
subjectivism
government sponsored incentives to be poor

>I would do it myself but I have a condition which prevents me from doing such intense labor so I just work two part time jobs while getting a degree in CS

So you're fat?

>ing

most and foremost ? :

bECAUSE OF THE fed ( COMMUNISTOID / SOCIAL ZENTRAL PLANNING OF THE MARKED )

mental illness and pride

Niggers.

No, I broke my wrists snowboarding and they aren't healing even after surgery. If I were to do farm work I would be in nauseating pain. Working in a kitchen is bad enough.
Typing is fine though. Hopefully I will get an internship and then a career with insurance so I can get an MRI and see what I need to do to get it back to normal.

because we spend most are money babysitting the fucking born 1940-50s generation

I feel like there are those who are like me who aren't as lucky. I would be more than happy to fund an organization that is dedicated to helping those like me to get them back on their feet and working again.

Hmmm, it's almost like there's been decades of latin american peasants entering the country while resource extraction industries and small farms have been legislated into being unsustainable.

Welfare.

The poverty rate was plummeting under people like Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy until the welfare state came along. It was almost like it was designed to fail.

Shame your poverty-ridden country doesn't have free health care

in all fairness that's not really that bad a life, I mean he has a blanket and a cart, which is a lot more than most Africans.

Nothing wrong with latin american peasants doing dirty work you ameriburgers won't do.

It doesn't.

Yeah it sucks but I have an opportunity to better myself due to freedom. If I wasn't able to write what I wanted in my comic book I probably wouldn't be able to potentially make money off of it.(It's redpilled stuff)
It's a trade off. Even if I got surgery in Europe after an extensive period on a waiting list, I'd still need a place to stay, my parents already have to deal with my brother who has arthritis so there's no way they can help me. Me and my bro would love to move to Europe but it's too dangerous and you guys don't like people who have blond hair and blue eyes.

>won't do
you mean that we won't do that work for less than the law requires unlike criminals from your country, if white people could get away with paying other white people less money Southern Americans piss poor work ethic wouldn't stand a chance. Also don't lump your shit tier country in with Mexicans by calling your self "Latin" we all know your race is far down the totem pole there native skin.

>kek.jpg

Mental Disease

Dangerous? Are you at all aware of homicide and violent crime rates in the US? I fucking love living in Scotland: I can walk down the road, go to school, go to the shops with absolutely no worries of being shot or robbed at gunpoint.

By first world standards it's pretty fucking bad

There's such a huge wealth disparity between say honduras and the us, that any shared utility or services they receive, like healthcare or police services, is a huge wealth transfer. It's probably cheaper to just have the government subsidize the wages of americans doing those jobs than some penniless indio.

Because in a free society people are free to make stupid financial decisions

This.

Because some people are lazy

white trash

Here people love features that I have. I often get free stuff from people in my community and girls treat me kind of like Josuke. It really has helped me being attractive.
We all have our struggles.
I'm blessed in a sense that there is endless nature for me to explore here and freedom that allows it.
Scotland sounds pretty nice. I know there are fringe areas in Europe that are safe just like here.
However, Scotland is tiny, and there are no Mountains for me to explore.
There are Mountains that are 14,000 feet high here that are such a fun adventure to climb. I'd hate to miss out on that in boring ol' Europe.

fun fact. There were 5 killings in my city over less than 18 hours yesterday.

>tfw literally live in bodymore, murdaland

By the standards of the developed world, American ranks last. But if you want to keep comparing yourself to the Congo, go right ahead.

It's true that my country is much nferior to Mexico, and you are problably right that if legislation was properly followed, white americans would be offered an adequate wage, and so, do the work

Sure it would be cheaper for the government to susbsidise work for tax paying americans

Because you make too much money, you greedy kike.

most homeless are homeless because they are mentally ill or have drug addictions

Why does it exist anywhere?

If you are a useful person to society you are compensated. If you are especially useful you are compensated well.

Poverty exists because not everyone is useful.

Also do me a favor and define poverty. If you made $1,500 last year you are in the world's top 20% of income. Is poverty defined by what you have, what you want, or what you don't have?

If we measure it by people that literally starve to death with child abuse/negligence included about 4,000 in America die annually from it. Literally not even a fucking problem.

Insufficient wealth redistribution.

It's that simple.

The US has more wealth per capita than nearly anyone else. It's just unevenly distributed throughout the population. The US could literally end poverty inside its borders today of it wanted.

They just don't want to.

And I'm sure Latin americans work ethic is piss poor, and I do have native skin

Because we import Mestizos to do low wage work and so many come in illegally that it lowers wages. Then we allow H1B muds to come in and they lower wages with the tech jobs. Also we sent so many factory jobs overseas that there are nearly zero available.

So, fewer jobs plus much lower wages equals many more poor Americans than there should be.

Constant and life long anti-white propoganda and drug abuse take their toll as well

>we all know
You know nothing, you poor burger

physical labor is becoming less and less useful to society b/c automation. It happens to be the only thing the majority of people are capable of selling due to genetics. That's why we are where we are right now and why civil war/collapse of the economic system is inevitable.

Fuck off you shitposting cunt

Because of the war on poverty.

Yes, compared to the amount of wealth that la peasants take from americans when they receive healthcare, schooling, police protection, etc.

The cost of providing public schooling per student in most of the united states is greater than the average income in places like el salvador or honduras. Just one example.

burgher*

Maybe. There could be a deportation program that allows people to take supplies and useful education to undeveloped areas that require physical labor to develop. It'd be a fantastic way to remove non-whites from the Western World.
I believe it should be Sup Forums's responsibility to initiate this for the sake of many innocent lives.
We're the good guys after all.

The American Dream man

That's literally the answer though.

The US is not a poor country.

US citizens are poor because the wealth of the US is inequitably distributed.

Because we're not communist

niggers and jews

this
ancap now

>implying communism wouldn't end in everyone but the very top being extremely poor

You're right. If I ever find myself becoming wealthy I will dedicate myself to helping my White brothers.
Possibly even create a homogeneous White enclave where we can thrive and create a new civilization free of non-White culture.

Because niggers, spics and mental illness exisr

>Please do not feed the birds. Feeding the birds creates a dependent population and a costly mess.

Because the consumers consumed everything, and there was nothing left for people.

>pic related

That's true, illegal works end up sucking much more than they give

This is exactly what I said.

You could feed everyone. You just don't want to.

Sounds good to me.

The amount of wealth an individual has is entirely relative to the amount of wealth available to people. It is absolutely necessary to have a lower income class of people in order for the middle (working) class to exist.

This is why socialism and communism can never work because an economy is based off of the scarcity of resources and their scarcity is valued in currency.

You must have missed the costly mess part.

Pride, most homeless people here wouldn't be willing to scrub a toilet even for above minimum wage.

Blue/red - it doesn't matter. Sicko fucking consumers gotta consume, consume, consume.

>pic related

because tons of taxes go into paying for war, and the refugees that come after.
for example, look at minneapolis. many lovely somalis have come as refugees following US military involvement there.

Socialism.

Hmm.. What if all rural/suburban Americans had a garden, a cow and a bull,(or possibly two goats 3 chickens, and one rooster? The farm animals could be kept in compact soundproof sheds.

>there.
in somalia

No, I didn't.

You have one choice.
1. the current plan: bomb the shit out of countries, take in refugees.
2. solution: stop bombing the shit out of countries, no more refugees will come.
3. alt solution: bomb the shit out of countries even harder, place economic sanctions on other first world countries that refuse to take your garbage (refugees)
4. final solution: just nuke 'em. take no prisoners.

The following facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau are taken from various government reports:

In 1995, 41 percent of "poor" households actually owned their own homes. The average home owned by a person classified as "poor" has three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.

Over three-quarters of a million "poor" persons own homes worth over $150,000; and nearly 200,000 "poor" persons own homes worth over $300,000.

Only 7.5 percent of "poor" households are overcrowded. Nearly 60 percent have two or more rooms per person.

Seventy percent of "poor" households own a car; 27 percent own two or more cars.

Ninety-seven percent of the "poor" have a color television. Nearly half own two or more color televisions. Nearly three-quarters have a videocassette recorder, and more than one in five has two VCRs. Sixty-four percent own microwave ovens, half have a stereo system, and over a quarter have an automatic dishwasher.

Two-thirds of "poor" households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.

As a group, the "poor" are far from being chronically hungry and malnourished. In fact, poor persons are more likely to be overweight than are middle-class persons. Nearly half of poor adult women are overweight.

Despite frequent charges of widespread hunger in the United States, 84 percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat; 13 percent state they "sometimes" do not have enough to eat, and 3 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.

The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children, and in most cases is well above recommended norms.

Most poor children today are in fact super-nourished, growing up to be, on average, one inch taller and ten pounds heavier that GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.

Haven't you heard? Refugees can become excellent consumers, and help grow the economy and pay for social programs.

We need to bomb their countries or they wouldn't be here to help us grow our economy.

>pic related

The poverty threshold for a family of four was $16,404 in 1997.

the Census Bureau considers only current income and ignores all assets accumulated in prior years

also, for reference, most of those in poverty are blacks and mestizos.

stupid people

The price of meats and dairy would plummet. And you would probably end up with a shortage of animal feed.

In short it would absolutely ruin the agricultural market. But here's the fun part. All of this is avoided with an economic system that is controlled by supply and demand (capitalism).
