By the way, great report.
You can go further than this argument b/c int'l sanctions legally speaking are a tool of warfare. That's why we have "hybrid" warfare these days, including economic means (sanctions), means by artillery (arms), information technology (cyber warfare) and probably others that I'm forgetting. To continue the warfare theme re: poverty, whatever you think of LBJ, his regime launched a "War on Poverty" in the '60s, while he was killing 1000s in Vietnam. What you've had basically since Nixon or at least since Reagan has been an undending 50 year "War on the Poor, including Those in Poverty". It's class warfare as Marxists call it and the rich have been winning for the last half century. So far that doesn't appear to be changing in any significant way in this election so it's gonna continue probably at least for a while (some years) longer.
we appreciate your view point! yes!
Why does Iran wants to trade with infidels anyway?
So just wait to get nucked?
It's about time someone has come out with the truth on poverty. I agree whole hardly with your statements. This country is in a financial fiasco. The rich looking down their noses at everyone. Upper classes having a blind eye to the homeless. Middle class people struggling to hold what they have and helping others when they can. The rest suffering in the middle of the drought. I myself consider this to be Christian economics. Others see it as petty prejudice influence on the economically challenged. In any case, the haves see to it, the have nots stay this way and taunt them for it. Damn. This sounds like national socialism. A prelude to the new world order. Let's hear a SEIG HEIL. Nearly homeless myself, I know what I'm talking about. Worse than that, dog eat dog for an extra ducket in your paycheck.
The simple classic solution is full employment, full pay and full benefits, assured by the National Treasury (which the "Capitalists" professionals routinely raid as their "Ponzi Economy" routinely "collapses" and they call the ever-increasing gathered and hoarded wealth, poverty, homelessness, early deaths, desperation, violence, crime "depression", "inflation", recession", "panic", "belt-tightening" and "economic crisis". Without community controls and regulations on the prices, fees and exploits of the institutions, corporations and professionals, they just jack-up the prices of everything, to subvert the full pay, as they invent new "reasons" to exclude people from the economic intercourse requisite to life. The "Mosaic-Sharia-Puritan Greenspan-Rand Professional-Capitalist Anti-Christ" philosophy of "Mammon" ("Capitalism") taught in "fundamentalist" "blasphemous" "idolatrous" synagogues, mosques and churches as "God's word and will" (pure "blaspheme" by Bible, Talmud, Torah and Koran definition)  and taught in universities as the "Science of Economics" (pure baseless pseudo-science) is the greatest threat facing the nation today. The professors, teachers, rabbis, imams, mullahs and preachers are teaching the children and gullible adults that getting rich by any means (demonizing and criminalizing and devaluating people, excluding people from the economy, deceiving, cheating, extorting, causing poverty, brutalizing, monopolizing, imposing fines, fees, foreclosures, evictions, privatizing, imminant domain, incarcerating, summary executions, ritual human sacrifice in prisons with religious authorities presiding and government officials attending and participating (seditious capital crime) , and causing "sinners" and "useless" and "inferior" and "unqualified" and "un-employable" people suffering and death is God's will, way and command and Jesus' reward for "chosen" people and those having "personal" relationships with "God" and "Jesus" (more "blaspheme), and is the best, and correct way to do things. The resurgence of this classic abomination is nothing new, and neither is the simple solution to bring it to an end. In their profound rote learned confusion, and ignorance, the rich and millionaire professional families adamantly oppose the solution that offers even the innocent among them a small (now diminishing) hope to avoid their now projected class and family genocides (See: Extant and Projected Mortality Rates) as the abomination that they have created accomplishes its goal of destroying its source. The universal relativity, the natural law, prevails over the Mosaic-Sharia-Puritan philosophy, myths, superstitions and pseudo-science.
The professional families have become rich and millionaires by causing poverty, suffering and death. Quote: "We must assure a greater percent of unemployment for our system to work." (to create the poverty that facilitates extorting labor cheaply).  "We do not have enough unemployment, and I am acting to assure that it increases." and he did just that, causing the poverty to increase along with the homelessness, suffering, early deaths, desperation, violence, crime, riots and the never ending wars, as the professional family became ever more rich and richer millionaires. Elitism is a deadly progressive and communicable mental disorder that destroys the human mind and it is epidemic in the universities, corporations, government and private institutions, synagogues, mosques and churches, and among the professional families whom dominate them.
It's a type of political cowards that say NIMTOF not in my term of office
Releasing data on the real poverty line will mean America will wake up to the truth
The truth that the gov has been shrinking education budget in favor of DOD since WW2
That the gov has been shrinking social services since Regan in favor of wars overseas that are unjustified and displaced million
America will wake and realize we are not the best country on earth
We will wake up and realize we are just as poor as any BOP country
We just gotten better at faking it and we know the American people in majority are ignorant of geopolitics and of their own fucking backyard
Anyways live you guys 💙
Mitch will never let that bill pass…
Door swings both way.. why u see these wars.. but have to digress now..
Preach Sis. This piece is spot on.
The US loves putting sanctions on countries that are non-white or non-Christian.
"diplomacy" aside, isn't collective punishment against international law?? who am I kidding…I know there are no consequences for those in control of capitalism
"The perception of beauty is a moral test." Ralph Waldo Emerson. This test also determines if one is human or not. If someone thinks ugly (heavy) words like sanction, starve, torture, murder and bomb are beautiful (uplifting)…one is ignorant (dead). The counting corpses are inhumane because they are not human. The alien vampires (greed/hate) commit crimes against humanity because they are not human.
Light and truth cause greed (vampires) great pain and suffering. That's why beautiful (uplifting) words like compassion, understanding, society (socialism), "care for all" and "green new deal" cause the counting corpses such misery.
Ignorance (greed/hate) is bliss for the joy sucking vampires. But not much fun for the earthling human beings (hearts/love) who they are sucking the joy out of.
Sanctions equals economic terrorism.
You mean countries standing up to USA leadership. We have a marxist PM in canada. He is AWOL! No need to stand up to him. Hopefully," deus ex machina!" will save canada.
Thank you.
What is the point exactly? Are you of the mindset that things should be evened up by higher taxes on the more well off? The poor you shall always have among you. The best thing people can do is take advantage of every educational opportunity, not having children out of wedlock and limiting the birth rate to the number of children you can provide for. No one has a right to be born into excellent economic circumstances unfortunately.
Which is why we have all sorts of programs to help the poor. We don't ignore our neighbors in need Americans give of their free will to food banks, clothing drives, Goodwill and directly to those in need.
