Reagan and Clinton destroyed welfare and now Trump will finish their work. A bi-partisan effort to steal from the poor, to give to the oligarchy, since the 1980's. The United Nations has issued a scathing report on poverty in the United States that found the Trump administration and Republicans are turning the U.S. into the “world champion of extreme inequality.” Philip Alston, the United Nations special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, announced his findings after conducting a two-week fact-finding mission across the country, including visits to California, Alabama, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Alston also warned that the Republican tax bill will transfer vast amounts of wealth to the richest earners while making life harder for the 41 million Americans living in poverty. Among other startling findings in Alston’s report, the U.S. ranks 36th in the world in terms of access to water and sanitation. We speak with Philip Alston, who is also a professor at NYU Law School. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXZnogf7NOs Edited by _g R_, Dec 24 2017, 07:26 AM.

Stealing from the poor? Working people keeping more of what they earned is theft? More like lazy mockers not stealing as much from working people. There are plenty of unfilled jobs, get to work! Edited by PATruth, Dec 24 2017, 12:17 PM.

There is a segment that I do not mind helping along. But those lazy mockers have to go back to work, even if only part time. I could better deal with a semi lazy mocker then a full blown lazy mocker. I do have one question, what is a "mocker"? |

Importing millions of illiterate peasants is naturally going to exasperate income inequality. It's yet another liberal success story. |
