Poweful photos of people living in poverty....

[Meathead]

Most poor people in America are white. The photos were all black.

Why?

So only pimps, drug dealers and NBA players can be depicted as black?

Most poor people in the US are white.

You don't see too many threads on USMB where RW'ers are bitching about poor white people, even though their government assistance costs you more than assistance to black Americans.

Gee, I wonder why that is, since the nuts around here also insist there's no racism on this board...

So, blacks should only be used to depict criminals NBA players and ugly women?

Are you mentally retarded?

Sorry. OK, criminals, NBA players, retarded people and ugly women. Better?

99% of the world's "poor" would love to have that car, baby stroller, clothes, house and a 5000 calorie a day gut like that welfare queen.

Bullshit. Poverty levels haven't changed much, if at all.

America's Poverty Problem: Basically the Same

That is just horrible....

Why after six years of Republican Congressional control, haven't they passed a single anti-poverty bill?

Don't Republicans care?

If only we'd declare a War on Poverty

The war on poverty has the poverty rate down to about 4%.

America's Poverty Problem: Basically the Same

Poverty Facts | Poverty Rate, Poverty Thresholds & Census Information


Since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history since the American Revolution. Despite this mountain of spending, progress against poverty, at least as measured by the government, has been minimal

The War on Poverty After 50 Years

Grow a brain you useless idiot.

America's Real Poverty Rate Is Around And About Zero

"...that official poverty standard does not include most of the things we do to try and alleviate poverty. It includes market income (wages, pensions, income from investments if any) and cash transfers from government (so, TANF is included).

But it does not include transfers in kind (Medicaid, SNAP, Section 8 housing vouchers, free school meals and some 70 other such programs) nor does it include anything operating through the tax system (the EITC is ignored as well).

Given that pretty much all poverty alleviation is done via benefits in kind or the tax system this official poverty line is therefore best thought of as being the amount of poverty there would be if there was no government help to reduce poverty. Not quite exactly, but given the way the money is allocated pretty much so."

I realize that's a bit deep for you people at the shallow end of the pool, but TRY to understand it.

Someone is full of shit and I'd bet a few bucks its you. Idiot.

The best way to get out of poverty is to stop voting for Liberals that screw up the economy with their failed Left Wing economics.

 

[PredFan]

There are three types of people in this country:
Producers
Robbers
Parasites

The robbers take from the producers and give to the parasites.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The poverty rate is around 4%? So why are we even having this debate then? Problem is solved, move on.

The problem isn't solved because conservatives would like to abolish the aid to the poor and put the poverty rate back up to 15% or more.

War on poverty did what it was supposed to do.....provide sustenance and a path out of poverty to those in need

The only thing the stupid war on poverty did was create a dependent welfare state greedy voting block for the filthy ass Democrats, raise taxes to pay for it and put this country trillions in debt.

We now have three generations of welfare queens in most of these Democrat run big city ghettos.

That is failure any way you look at it.

Poverty has increased since President Shit for Brains was elected.

The number of people getting welfare has increased since President Shit for Brains was elected.

They have a word for that. FAILURE.

You are wasting your time bitching about Republicans to me. I am not one. To me they are nothing more Democrat Light and have advanced the welfare state just like the filthy ass Democrats so you can take your silly partisan hate elsewhere.

You don't help anybody by using the force of government to take money by force from somebody that earned it and giving it away to somebody else that didn't earn it in exchange for votes.

All you do is run up taxes, run up debt, create a dependent welfare slave population voting block and engage in legalized thievery.

Because Obama would veto it - just like he's done to all of the other bills they've passed.

People who have nothing to live for, don't care if they live in a mess, don't care if they're fat, don't care about much in life.

It's what happens when God is not part of their lives.

Jesus fed the poor, and didn't even ask for proof of income when he did.

What do you do to help the poor? Pay your taxes?

Duh.

So you don't do anything yourself to help the poor.
Typical leftists.
Studies show the left give little to charity, you have lots of company.

Studies also show that conservatives consider donations to their church to be charity even when only 1% of those donations are actually given to charities.

Studies have also shown that Liberals are very stingy with their own money but are great advocates of taking money away from other people. The greedy bastards.

The Bible teaches that charity should come from the heart, family and church. There is nothing in there about supporting an oppressive bloated debt ridden out of control government welfare state that was created to provide a voting block for Liberals.

Its not "anti poverty" that's needed. Its just n!ggers doing what n!ggers do. We are white and poor but because we have common sense we OWN outright 2 running driving vehicles and we both work and we have 4 kids and computers and cell phones...common sense..the lost art.

Maybe you can show me the link between liberalism and stinginess. If there is one, it's probably a reflection of religiosity and conservatives mistaken notion of its link to charity.

I said a "viable option" you simple minded idiot. Big difference.

How do you make poverty unpossible?

Moron:
You don't have the mental ability to understand anything. Hell, you can barely read. I didn't say it was impossible, nor did I use the made up word "unpossible". You aren't smart enough to understand anything. I can only try to educate you but I can't make you learn anything. Good luck with your handicap.

vi·a·ble
ˈvīəb(ə)l/
adjective

1. capable of working successfully; feasible.
   "the proposed investment was economically viable"
   synonyms: feasible, workable, practicable, practical, usable, possible, realistic, achievable, attainable,realizable;
   informaldoable

Now, do you want to explain how your plan works or just call more names because you're mad you dont have anything left but platitudes?


You guys have a hard time with the word "How?" and react in furious anger

the way to eliminate poverty is to create a robust economy where there are more jobs than job seekers. Its not the least bit complicated, we did it in this country for over 200 years before the libtards took over.

Seemed to work until we sold our soul to supply side economics

BS, it worked fine until we sold our soul to liberal welfare economics and the "punish success and reward failure" mantra of socialism.

LBJ passed welfare anti poverty laws and here we are 22 trillion dollars later with record numbers on welfare.

LBJ did not outlaw poverty, he only made it bearable

It is Republican supply side policies that ensured the path out of poverty was closed

wake up, We lost the war on poverty. Trillions spent and there are more in poverty today than when LBJ made that shit up.
