Showing posts with label war on poverty. Show all posts

The Utopian Schemers want you to believe we have "poor" people in this country. If "poor" means, "you are on your own," America has no poor. Our system of is the most benevolent in the entire world.

This is absolutely the best explanation as to the impossible dream of our nation solving the world's problem as to the poor. He will tell you, in graphic form, that the world has 3 billion folks who make $2 a day or less, and a total of 5.6 billion who make less than the average income in Mexico (including the $2 crowd) - there is somewhere around 8 billion people in the world, right now.

What is disgusting to my way of thinking is the Utopian lie that mentions American poor in the same breath as the poor of the world Our street people are elite in comparison. Poverty for a family of four, in America, is around $24,000 a year not counting the 37,000 they qualify for in terms of welfare and rent sharing. The $24,000 poverty level, puts these same folks in the top 7% of the world's wage earners. Anyway. Listen to this professor . . . . and share it.

Poverty has risen from a nominal 9% of the population to nearly 13% - after 13 trillion dollars and more than 40 years. At least the "poor" can celebrate the pursuit of their arts and dancing careers.

Not shown on the graph but reported by the NY Times, poverty now includes 14.3% of the population. And, taxpayers have spent 13 trillion dollars on this nonsense. Understand that 13 trillion is 5 times the cost of all US wars combined. Would someone come up with a better idea? Please.

Also, make note that "poverty" in the US puts our "poor" in the top 20% of the world's population as to wealth and material possessions. Statistically, there are virtually no poor, living the US., by comparative world standards.

The war on poverty was to make blacks a permanent Democrat class. Abortion was a gimmick too eliminate poor blacks from the larger population.

Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong ~ Margaret Sanger.

Understand that the war on poverty has spent 7 trillion dollars since the mid-1960's, and the black community remains blindly committed to the Democrats while suffering terrible unemployment and the highest rates of educational and financial disparity of any constituency in this country.

Those of us who oppose abortion, have known for years and years that abortion was intended to be a solution to unwanted populations, within this country. We have know for decades, that the KKK was Democrat invention designed to hold blacks "in their place." We have known for years that Jim Crow laws were ALL written, by empowered Democrats. Not one Jim Crow law was the creation of Republicans. We have known for years, that welfare enslaves, but since the descendants of the Democrat Party invented slavery, who in that party, really gives a whoot?

Lily Ledbetter was the Dems answer to "equal pay" issues (2009), and, apparently, it failed after being passed. Now, Pelosi is crying for immigration legislation when she could have had this passed into law in 2009 without GOP opposition.

“It’s the biggest thing that we can do, and that’s why I’ve said to the speaker, to the press, to these groups, I would rather pass [a] comprehensive immigration reform bill than win the elections in November,”

Editor's notes: understand the Democrat legislative strategy: they use hope as an election cycle strategy, but never pass a law that actually solves the problem . . . . . . . giving them the same election strategies for the next election cycle.

1. Their war on poverty, has been amended on several occasions since the 1960's. 3 trillion dollars spent of the past 4 decades, and still, they see this as an election year issue.

2. Lily Ledbetter was a bill Obama signed into law in early 2009. This bill was the end all to women's wage equality issues. And, yet, today, it seems that no one remembers that law, and, most certainly, the bill accomplished nothing when compared to its stated goals.

3. Pelosi cries for immigration legislation, but could have passed comprehensive legislation, even amnesty, any time during 2009, when she was Speaker of the House and Over Lord of a super majority that give congressional Democrat the power of one party rule. So why no legislation? Because it is being used as a gimmick for coming elections . . . . period.

The fact that Hispanic legislators and media outlets have never held the Dems accountable for this unequivocal failure exposes them as "game players" on the same plane as their non-Hispanic cohorts.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
