What If We Actually Had Poor People In This Country?

[Taz]

I don't care how you feel, we're still keeping the rest of your family out.

not all of them want to come here.

Why don't you all fix up your own country? I'm sure we would give foreign aid for that. I'd be for it.

I am. Why don't you fix up yours.

Like all your relatives down south. Why don't they fix up their own countries? You fuck up your own country then want to come here and fuck up ours.

maybe they are. your problem is lousy right wing management is doing the Bad and not the Good.

Because I don't help your whole family to abandon their countries that makes me a bad person? That must be some kind of SBL, Special Beaner Logic.

 

[Uncensored2008]

increasing our minimum wage will help improve conditions for those who make more than the minimum wage.

No stupid fuck, it wouldn't.

You lack the intellect to grasp that currency is just a marker for value. Manipulating fiat currency only changes the scale of the marker, value remains static. I've explained this to you before, but you lack the education, intellect, and sobriety to understand it.

a cost of living adjustment, that is all. why so much drama queenery in our Republic, right winger?

Because value does not increase, moron. Any arbitrary means of exchange will seek equilibrium to the value expressed by the exchange rate. You think you can cheat reality by changing rates, but you can't.

If a steak is $10 and we pay a man $10 an hour to wash dishes, then his VALUE per hour is equal to a steak. Pay him $10,000 an hour and the cost of the steak will rise to $10,000. Because the VALUE did not change with your arbitrary manipulation of currency.

Why are you too stupid to grasp this? It's the drugs, isn't it?

lol. like cost of living adjustments, never work.

who are You trying to kid, right winger; we use fiat money.

I bet you're poor. amirite or AMIRITE?

[basquebromance]

my friends, we ought not measure the success of the war on poverty by how many folks are on these programs, folks, we measure the success of it by how many folks are NOT on these programs. we need to get folks OUT OF POVERTY. OUT OF POVERTY. OUT POVERTY.

EXACTLY!

 

[Uncensored2008]

The policies Republicans have espoused for decades are an abject failure for the economy.

Explaining why we currently have the best economy in 70 years....

Reagan's tax cuts used "earned income credits" to transfer the wealth of the nation from the working and middle class, to the top 10%. Bush's tax cuts accelerated the process, and Trump's tax cuts are already impacting negatively on the stock market, investment and job creation.

Right, the rich are robbing the poor - because the poor have all the money. You Communists have it all figured out.

As long as the the United States is being run on the credit card, while your workers get little to no benefit from the record sales and profits your corporations are booking, your country and your economy will continue to decline.

Say Comrade, just HOW much debt did Queer Barry add during his 8 years?

The slogans you recite from the hate sites are idiotic, you can't be taken seriously when you chant such utter stupidity.

90% of Obama's debt was averting another corrupt GOP World depression, and welfare and unemployment for the victims. So stupid you are...

Of course.

Anything Obama did wrong is the fault of Bush. Anything Trump does right is because of Obama. You snotty little children have said it all before.

In other words, having nothing to respond to sound economic theory and practices, you resort to childish schoolyard taunting, proving both your intellectual bankruptcy, and a juvenile response to a growing economic cloud on your horizon.

Childish slogans are far from "sound economic theory" Comrade.

And any time you want to speak of economic theory, I'll be happy to.

What do you find the key principle of the "General Theory" to be?

Mine is the real definition of poverty,

Asshole egomaniac thinks YOU get to define what poverty is.

Here's the definition I just took off of Bing:

View attachment 237207

Only a freaking idiot like you would dare claim there are no extremely poor in this country, living in an inferior substandard life insufficient in meeting their needs. That is poverty. I close the case on YOU. I won't even waste my time reading your useless threads anymore. Can't remember when the last time was you even had a decent one.

So we agree that you are unable to dispute these facts.



Poverty is no home, no heat, no food.

But, according to the Liberal mentality, poverty is having a smaller flat screen TV than you have, or one bedroom less in their home…..maybe not as shiny hubcaps on their cars.



Check this out:

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

• Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
• Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
• Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
• The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
• Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
• Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
• Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
• Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.

As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. 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. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels. Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II. How Poor Are America's Poor? Examining the "Plague" of Poverty in America




Sooo….Democrat voter…..feel like a sucker?

These aren't facts. You make up definitions of things with your ignorant opinions and call them facts. A sure sign of a deluded partisan wingnut.

They're facts.

Guess why you can't dispute them.

 

[PoliticalChic]

I'm just a little ol' southern gal....born in South Korea.....yet, more American than you are.


When Peter Schramm’s family fled Hungary, he writes:

“But where are we going?” I asked

“We are going to America,” my father said.

“Why America?” I prodded

“Because, son…we were born Americans, but in the wrong place,” he replied. American by Choice



I so appreciate how you Liberals choose me as the issue when you can't put a dent in my posts....I admit that I'm my fav subject......so keep it up.

You're just a partisan asshole with an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. Your constant uneducated barking doesn't make you correct.

Clean up your language, and address me properly....and I'll destroy your argument.

Eat shit and die, winger. Your opinions are always a waste of time.

Is that the sort of debate you were taught in your family, or in government school????

Wingers don't debate. They chirp. They're not worthy of consideration. Anything else, winger?

Here's another dose of reality.

I don't bother. I already said I don't suffer partisan fools. By all means, stay ignorant. It's entertaining at the very least.

 

[toobfreak]

So we agree that you are unable to dispute these facts.

No, we only agree that you're a flaming a-hole who wouldn't know a real fact about the poor if it came along and ran you over, and hide behind any website you can find which seems to support your warped view because you are so bereft of spirit, you must demean the impoverished at Christmas time as your only way of making you feel like somebody.

Sooo….Democrat voter…..feel like a sucker?

You can't even get that right. According to a thread about a year ago where we all took a test and got scored, I came in as possibly the most conservative, hard right person on this group. I'm just not a pre-programmed, board-up-my-ass, partisan puppet like you who automatically thinks all things conservative or right are wonderful and all things left or liberal are always necessarily evil or bad. I have a brain.

TT, save your breath. You're dealing with a now-revealed total brain-dead asshole that actually thinks that most all the "poor" in this country or are on welfare are actually driving around in a Cadillac with a below-ground swimming pool in their backyard. Agreed, there probably a few like that who game the system, but sooner or later, most of these eventually get caught. Takes a real special kind of creep to put down the weakest and most vulnerable among us.

[Sun Devil 92]

As generous as I am, my present today for our Democrat voters, is to remove any necessity for that hand-wringing, or living in that crisis-mode your masters keep you in.

Democrat voters….be prepared to be shocked: there is neither racism nor poverty in this country!
Yup…you’ve been double-lied to….and you bought it like it was on sale.

The thread will concentrate on the latter lie.

There's no poverty, you have no need to either prepare to step over dead bodies due to starvation.....nor to ever vote Democrat again.


1. There is no poverty, no need for you to fork over a third or more of your income to the bosses.
Not the sham perpetuated by the Left to manipulate the soft-hearted/soft-headed to vote Democrat. I mean actual poverty.

Here’s the real definition, not one that is based on some folks having a slightly smaller house than you, or only a 50inch TV….

No Home, No Heat, No Food…..real poverty. If there is such a category in America, it is no more than a rounding error.



2. If you have cable TV….you’re not poor.

3. If you don’t clip the coupons and shop at several grocery stores for the best prices….you know you’re not really poor.

4. If you live in the city, and you have a car….you’re not poor.

5.If you spend more time signing up for government welfare programs rather than looking for creative ways to make some money,….you’re not poor- there are other words to describe you, and they aren't compliments.



You are poor???
Here....let me help:

Some plans if you need some extra bucks: (When Money is Tight, These 9 Resources Can Help You)

6. Make a Little Extra Money While You Watch TV
Surveys aren’t the quickest way to make money, but they’re a great way to cash in on your downtime and pad your pockets for the next rainy day. Fill them out while you’re watching TV, riding the bus or waiting in line.

One survey site we love is called InboxDollars. It offers several short, daily surveys. You earn cash, so you don’t have to worry about exchanging points. It also offers more ways to earn, such as watching videos, playing scratch-off games and searching the internet.

Bonus: You’ll get a free $5 just for signing up!


7. Sell Your Stuff
When you’re short on cash, look to the back of your closet and in the depths of your attic or basement. You’ll almost certainly find a bunch of stuff you don’t use anymore.

A lot of people see this clutter and start plotting a garage sale to earn extra money. The prospect is tempting — but a garage sale might not be worth your time.

Try some alternatives, like selling your stuff online or in town to earn more money with less hassle than hosting a full-blown garage sale. Apps like Letgo and Decluttr make it super easy to sell your stuff without sitting in the front yard and dealing with strangers all day.
