>poor children have no access to quality nutrition, healthcare or education This is flat out false. The kids suffering most have deadbeat/junkie parents or they're the children of illegals who are living beneath the law. There are public schools in every town, city and borough, and all kinds of access to social welfare programs like EBT, food stamps, unemployment, welfare, etc.

Doesn't matter because their parents will just pawn off food stamps for liquor. Can't call Child Protective Services either because CPS is literally a front for human trafficking. The only way for children to escape poverty is the removal of child labor laws so they can get jobs and get away from their parents.

You know how some people say that the poor are absolute scum? It's true. There is nothing virtuous about being poor and coveting what your neighbor has.

Stop wanting to be a multimillionaire if you don't have anything to offer society or the entertainment industry. Stop whining that everyone has it better than you and either do better or KYS.

Brazilian boy, would you like to trade your shit life for the life of an American nigger that you reference? It seems that you are very concerned with the state of our affairs, that’s good. However, does it make you feel bad that even an EBT nigger will earn more in their life than you? Does walking around, no future in sight, no possibility in sight bother you? Do you hate the world around you compels you be a nigger and beg? I pity you.

Inherited from Obama. (The same excuse obama used) Go ahead and point to which laws/regulations Trump passed that created this? I know that Clinton's housing bill led to the economy crashing, the banks going under because they were promised by fannie mae and freddie mac would buy out underwater loans/mortages. Obama has only made it worst with his healthcare mandate as well as for employers thus driving jobs and businesses to other countries, some even going out of business because they couldn't afford to pay it and would rather not hand out massive layoffs.
Isaac Phillips
wow, all this poverty
Jaxson Baker
Do you know what food stamps are? I'm guessing not. Food stamps/EBT cards can be used for almost anything except alcohol and hot food. A poor family of 4 can receive up to $640 in monthly food benefits, which they can use on ANYTHING except alcohol and hot food (you can't use them to eat out at restaurants). It's completely up to the person receiving benefits to buy healthy food. You can easily buy healthy food to feed a family of 4 of $600+ per month, but most people buy junk food and fatten up their stupid kids.

Besides the utter homeless, the USA's poverty-stricken people all still have big TV's, internet, the latest smartphones, and a roof over their head. This is because of the bloated Welfare state, EBT, etc.

Yeah the average welfare leech in America has more disposable income than a Brazilian attorney.

I doubt that, considering the real yearly interest rate on our government bonds is 5%.

Greg Hunter at usawatchdog.com interviews the best in finance. Like it or not, the Trump train is gathering steam! Our father in heaven will bless us for blessing Israel. Eight other countries too. The no votes should prepare to either repent or accept the coming judgement.
Jesus Christ, Son of God and messiah of the Jews, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again as prophesied. All we have to do is believe and call on His name and he grants us eternal life.
Merry Christmas!

Lack of access to quality education, you may have a point. Health care, though, other than athletes and multimillionaires/billionaires, America's welfare recipients have access to the best healthcare in the world.
John Gonzalez
The poorer you are in the US, the more likely you are too be obese. Food stamps and food pantries are feeding everyone just fine.
As far as education goes, both public schools and libraries are free.
Lack of drive doesn't mean a lack of opportunity.
Chase Hill

At least something they said was true.
Xavier Johnson
The prosperity of the New Deal America was never going to last. The only reason even the poorest Americans enjoyed such a high standard of living a few decades ago was because Asia was getting deep throated by two superpowers willing to destroy nations for their respected ideologies and the freer parts of Europe were pretty much debt slaves to the US after WW2. Now the US working classes are returning to the living standards of their pre New Deal forefathers. China and Asia's working class are out competing the American working class when it comes to productivity and business friendly labour laws and regulations. Technology is making workers less relevant to companies This is unfortunately the new paradigm for the working class , and any Starbucks sipping communist who says otherwise is delusional and doesn't understand basic economics. Ironically the only thing that could save the American working class is if Asia destroys itself through regional war or communism and the companies who've outsourced so many American jobs to Asia realise that Asia is no longer a viable market/source of cheap labour . The rich these days have a lot more leverage over the poor than a few decades ago. Communism encroachment was the only reason Americans enjoyed such high standards of living.
Parker Smith
when i think of extremely poor burgers i think of the tv show "cops" and this one broad who was on there constantly looking for her "teef". these hoarder types who live in squalor. it's nice to see them. makes you feel better about yourself
David Miller
yeah, the heavy cuts on social security that will foot the new tax bill will surely improve social security in the end, as we all know companies are SURE to invest their savings and create new jobs in the U.S. and not just pocket the money or expand their operations in Bangladesh
why do you think the stock market is booming, dummy?
Andrew Gray
Still remember my old boss's story about being a kid while his dad was teaching high schoolers.
He'd always ask his dad why he had to eat macaroni and cheese and cut up hot dogs for dinner while his neighbors were grilling steaks.
His dad told him "Its because I work for a living and the neighbors get food stamps."

Noah Morgan
>public schools The curriculums are shit and the classes are too big. The schools teach you WHAT to think instead of how to think. And you can cheat the system and still come out a dumbass if you're a good test taker and that's all.

everything you said is true, which leaves America with two options: get over your own delusions and try to at LEAST keep up with the rest of the first world in matters regarding social security; become the first nation to experiment with actual anarcho-capitalism and pray Jesus it actually works, because this middleground is unsustainable

If the schools in your area are shit, and your parents are underemployed that sounds like a great opportunity for home schooling.
Free public libraries are a thing everywhere. You have access to a vast majority of the accumulated knowledge of the human race. Not educating yourself is purely a matter of choice.

So much this, ffs.
The definition of poverty is the bottom XX% of earners. It's fucking relative, so you CAN NEVER GET RID OF POVERTY USING THIS CRITERIA. If the median income was $250k, you'd have people earning $100k who would be in poverty according to the government because they could only afford to drive around in BMWs instead of Lambos.
It's a fucking retarded metric. People in "poverty" in the US have smartphones, tend to be fatter than those who earn more so obviously they aren't starving, etc.
