Why are there millions of poor people in America?

When you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you being to ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.

We’ve got to begin to ask questions about our whole society.

One day we must come to see the edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.

We create poverty, then punish people for it.

@MarbleMarvel DemoNazi governments create poverty. The Great Society DESTROYED the black family unit, and today 75 percent of all black children are born into single family households.

DemoNazi governments RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS. (the poor do not pay taxes.)

In the end, poverty in America is a CHOICE.

Poor people drop out of high school, quit their jobs, have children out of wedlock. You can't blame a government OR THE TAXPAYER for those CHOICES.
