But sonny Perdue is paid with your taxes
To stop fraud because every rich person is a fraud and they think every poor person is to
America's government is a disgrace!!! They are supposed to work for the people!! We should lynch 95% of them! I would love to see them hangong from street lights!!!
I send my condolences to the many people who will pass away due to human indecency such as this, I am considered poor-even with two degrees…we aren't lazy-but our society is facing a serious issue with Unchecked Exploitation/Mental Health/and lack of consistent effective problem solving. Really does feel like no one cares-fight for your right to live-and also budget well- I just can't comprehend why we keep killing each other directly and inadvertently in ways such as this. How can we as a species cultivate true compassion that compels people to give a fuq about life and to work together? …my bad for the rant. I am truly hurt as an American citizen. all resources welcome. thanks. #NeverGiveUp
China has a policy to raise its population out of poverty. A lot of progress has been made but the government knows more work needs to be done. In contrast the US government does all it can to strip its poor from access to social support. The rich control the government but the population is not angry enough to raise up in revolt.
The divide is so big between the rich and poor. We need to stand up . I wish F Society was real .
Exploitive Capitalism for the poor and Grand socialism for the rich elite! They want to decrease the surplus population! The rich are afraid of a real revolution! What to stop fraud then stop Trump from getting millions every time he plays golf at his golf resorts. Trump has earned 304 million dollars by playing golf at his resorts! The poor are responsible for their poverty when they have to pay taxes to support the rich elite! Viva America! Break out the Guillotines!
Trump will be back in 2020. There’s no doubt the dems are imploding. They cannot unite against trump for some reason.?
I have no political affiliation and It doesn’t matter who is in the office, nothing ever changes. The people need to hit a reset button on big brother. All politicians are corrupt, don’t fall for the hollow lies and misdirection. They thrive on us fighting each other by creating social classes.
I don't understand why people keep calling the U.S.A. the wealthiest nation on Earth as from what I am seeing the U.S.A. is actually very poor or chronically broke and the biggest debtor on Earth that can't seem to pay it's bills. That doesn't sound very rich to me. They present some interesting points and ideas in this video though.
My heart goes out to all Americans,
Trump is crazy.
SAD
The only people who count to trump and his minions in govt want to help the elite, the billionaires. The loss of regulations on the environment are to help the very wealthy fossil fuel owners and corporation heads. The endless wars help Raytheon, Boeing and other war machine suppliers who are already obscenely rich!!!
I'M GETTING SICK AND TIERED OF THIS SHT THE RICH WILL SUFFER BIG TIME THEY CAN HIDE BUT NOT FOR LONG .IF WE STARVE SO WILL THEY.PEOPLE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.I SAY THIS THE POOR WILL EAT THE RICH.
I see people paying for junk food with US Government aid maybe there should be the rule on buying more healthy food options like vegetables rather the cereal fill with sugar, soda, cand,y potato chips. Healthy food creates a healthy body, mind, and soul!
And they probably voted for Trump.
The poor choose to be. . . This is America, if you're not disabled there's no reason to be poor. The poverty level today is the middle-class of the 1950's. I came from dirt floors and no electricity as a kid in the 70's, black American. My brothers and sisters all made it, we've done well because we didnt accept that we would be the next generation of "poor." Awfully odd that immigrants with drive can make it well in America. Theres reasons but 90% dont have one. And reparations are a joke. . . Get a job!
If you trust in the most High and work hard Judah…we will fare well. We don't need WIC or Welfare. We will be fine without it. We are the remnant and YAH will provide us manna from Heaven to eat.
Thank you, ladies.💞
The country is broke! That happened in 1933!
If America is that freakin hard up for cash, dont you think they would repeal those PERMANENT TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES? Think about it folks. They tell you to watch the right hand while they pick your pocket with their left hand. Why not make the big banks, those that were TOO BIG TO FAIL but now make billions in profit, PAYBACK TIME???? WE HAVE KIDS TO FEED. How about a living wage and affordable housing and stop the corporate welfare to the 200 richest families? Do you even know what a BILLION DOLLARS looks like? Think for yourself and reject rich crooks propaganda!
Let's see if we can explain further… Min. Wage 7.25 by the time taxes come out you can't buy a loaf of bread eggs and milk hell be 4 real cereal is $5 even for the store brands. Min. Wage should be double what it is paying and some companies can afford more. When you have a Nationwide walkout, because of the cuts on the poor, children, and elderly care then you would see. Then you have the immigrants God bless them they come and work here to send money home to families to. This is just a start SMART PEOPLE WITH ALL THE EDUCATION… The day is coming it's coming soon…
