Poverty Doubled In America Over Past 15 Years

A new study from the National Poverty Center shows that extreme poverty in America has doubled in the last 15 years – bringing the number of Americans who live on less than two-dollars a day to 1.46 million. This is an outrage in a nation of four hundred billionaires who own more wealth than 150 million other Americans combined – and more proof that Reagan’s trickle-down economics is nothing more than a scam.

Trickle down still assumed folks would still want to work for money and not expect it to be given to them. I came from a poor family but i worked hard to better myself and my income level. Be damned if i want to give it to a bunch of whiney babies so they can sit on their ass and complain.

consider the source of this story. a very left leaning group who loves to screw with the numbers to try to get more tax dollars from the goverment for their group.

i would be considered blind if i didn't say that our economy has been toyed with and manipulated as never before under this illegitimate president. millions of people are currently hurting but this hasn't been going on for the past 15 years. this is just more propaganda coming from this left wing group.
