And to think that left continues to demand MORE government

[rightwinger]

How do you solve poverty?

1. Why does poverty need to be solved?
2. Definitely not through government

Let em die

Provide the option of unemployment compensation simply for being unemployed.

That already exists, nitwit. It’s called “personal savings”.

no, it isn't.

That phrase right there sums up the simple-minded progressive. Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

equal protection of the law, is priceless.

Sheep when the ripple rabbit done grief for the smack walk premise, is priceless.

Dude...why do you resort to bizarre platitudes when you get owned? Your idiotic declaration that people deserve to get paid for being unemployed has nothing to do with “equal protection”. Absolutely nothing. You’re not even making coherent posts now. Just irrational drivel.

 

[Kondor3]

Are you saying that feeding and housing and educating and training and helping our own people is NOT the 'right thing to do' ?

No - I’m asking why you wont do it?...

Oh, but I have...

I spent six years working for a nationwide domestic hunger-relief organization.

I spent fourteen years working for a huge municipal-level private social services agency strongly grounded in community involvment.

----------

Twenty years in the nonprofit sector with the entire emphasis on just those things.

Not to mention a current engagement for the past few years at a huge veteran -centric service organization.

With a couple of years of military service tossed-in for good measure. in general service to the Republic.

How about YOUR credentials in serving your fellow citizens in need, big mouth?

...Only an asshole says X, Y, and Z are the “right thing to do” and then turns around and refuses to do X, Y, and Z...

Good thing I've got those credentials, then, isn't it, loser?

...You progressive tools are all the same. You’re free to do everything you whine about 24x7 and yet none of you do it.

Good thing for me that I"m a Centrist then, rather than a Progressive, isn't it, lightweight?

 

[Billo_Really]

I didn’t make anything up. You know it too. You’re just upset (as always) that you just got owned with facts (as always).

Jones and Brennan are not communists. And they are certainly not worse for this country than Pruitt and Mnuchin. They never spent tax payer dollars irresponsibly like Pruitt and Mnuchin has. You got nothing to say. You can't defend thier actions. That's why you keep trying to make this about me.

I have to go work, so I'll end with this...

Mitch McConnell, your hero, is a piece of shit!

Only the Clueless and the Causeless, claim that. Capitalism's, natural rate of unemployment Only exists for Capitalists' bottom line, not Labor's bottom line.

Compensation is for that natural rate of unemployment under Capitalism.

This is just another thread, in a long line of threads, by these little corporate whores, designed to pave the way for the raping of this country's resources by big business.

I'm on the left and I have a demand, why don't the right make America, America again?

I wonder how the solutions for the poor have played out in history? Apparently we have always had the poor with us and various attempts have been made to solve people from going hungry. England had passed poor laws and then we broke from England, and the states picked up the problem with their poor farms. No one seems to have found a solution except to add a morality to the problem: if they don't work they don't eat. That certainly relieved some guilt but didn't answer the question of "no work available".
FDR attempted to solve that problem with making work available by rebuilding parts of America.
Anyone have a better solution? We can sort of count on the poor always being with us.

We must distinguish between poor and poverty.

Poor is relative; poverty is defined in our republic.

The right wing cares more about their socialism on a national basis, not natural rights or equal protection of the law.

This is true, there will always be the poor, and that's something you can never fix. However there are ways to reduce poverty, and those ways all depend on where you live and what your opportunities are.

America is the land of opportunity. That's why we have (what some estimate) 20 million illegals here, and those are not counting people from other countries who are here legally. One of the main reasons for coming here is because we have opportunity that their countries don't.

I believe it was George Soros who said if you were born in the US, you already started on second base. It's one of his few beliefs I agree with.

So the way to address poverty is to ask questions and provide answers:

What is poverty?
Poverty is the situation of not having enough (or no) money.

What causes poverty?
Poverty is caused by not bringing home a paycheck, spending money you don't have, living beyond your means, staying on social programs, having children you can't afford to raise, borrowing money you don't absolutely have to have, or possibly addiction problems.

So what is the solution to poverty?
The solution to poverty is money.

How does one obtain this money?
Getting a job, and not restricting yourself to just 40 hours a week. If you are younger, work as many hours as you can, save every dime you can, and that's the first step out of poverty.

Jones and Brennan are not communists.

Your ignorance of the subject matter you insist on discussing is astounding...

“I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.“

And this is from CNN, ignoramus...

Van Jones, Obama's Green Czar - admitted communist

Van Jones, Obama's Green Czar - admitted communist

Just another big, right wing lie.

After repeated false accusations, Van Jones, a progressive political activist and former member of the Obama administration, had lawyers issue a cease-and-desist letter to Fox News demanding that the repetition of this false charge stop. From the letter:

Mr. Jones is not a member of any Communist Party or Marxist organization whatsoever, and has not expressed any support for any form of Communist or Marxist ideology for many years. In the same 2005 article in which he Mr. Jones [sic] discussed having had such notions as a young man, he also talked about his growth away from those views.

Mr. Jones has repeatedly clarified that his economic views are firmly pro-market, in numerous speeches, televised interviews, and in the Huffington Post. In fact, Mr. Jones is known as a leading champion of free market solutions to current environmental problems. His best-selling book, THE GREEN-COLLAR ECONOMY (2009), advocates government policies to promote private sector innovation. The World Economic Forum itself has repeatedly honored Mr. Jones' work. He has been called the "green" Jack Kemp, because he shares the late GOP leader's commitment to entrepreneurship as a cure for poverty.

The allegations that Mr. Jones is an "unrepentant communist," "is a Communist," "is a Communist guy" and is a "revolutionary" are thus demonstrably and unequivocally false. Clearly these statements were calculated to, and do, injure Mr. Jones in his professional and community standing and lower him in the estimation of the American public. They are actionable as a matter of law.​

Your own quote ADMITS he’s a communist!

“For many years”? Seriously? I have never expressed support for communism. Van Jones just hasn’t done it “in many years”.

lol. according to some Persons of morals, all we really needed was Ten simple Commandments from a God; not the tax burden and cost of Government.
