Does this mean the Mexican children will be used to explain the high numbers while the majority are the poor from the US.

Because it helps feed children? :roll:
Capitalism doesn't help feed children. Wherever did you get such an idea? People feed children, Capitalism doesn't engage in anything that does not show a profit. Which explains why Republicans want to cut back on food stamps, school meal programs, etc. It is against their capitalist puppet masters interests. The richest azzholes in the US, the Koch brothers, want to deregulate anything in the country that helps the poor or gets in the way of maximizing their profits. Capitalism is going to wipe out humanity and most of the other living things on this planet and all the capitalist can think of is money. Well they will get wiped out along with everybody else.

I prefer to eat vegetarians, but rightists will do in a pinch. And which of the Republican azzhat puppets would you replace Obama with? Do you really think any of those jerk offs will be any better? Your country and its empire are in terminal decline. Blaming your politicians for your own neglect is just a neglect of your own responsibilities to your country and yourselves. Obama isn't your problem, He is placed there to be your scapegoat by the pricks who really deserve your hatred.
Look at the character of those who call themselves "Americans." They are a debased and degraded people who have fallen prey to leftist ideology. I have no use for them. My people are the few who still subscribe to the ideas I embrace. My people have no future in a polity called the United States. Thus, for my people to prosper there should be no United States. Using leftist tactics to attack the American Left is like removing the keystone upholding an arch. I wish Obama was more than a symptom. Then, removing his head would remove the problem.


I'm not interested in empire. I'm not interested in foreign enemies. I'm only focused on the American Left which controls America. Since it is impossible to negotiate or reason with the American Left, it's necessary to poison the entire body politic to loosen the grip of the leftists. Only then can my ideals survive among one of the successor states that follow the end of the United States.

Cons would probably feel a lot better if the government killed off all the non productive "free loaders". It is the mindset of the free market economy capitalists. Here is an alternative view that values every one and living thing:

...
Those who can't work should be cared for. Those who can work must work. Those who won't work should become Canadians.

Obama has made the rich wealthier, the poor miserable, and the working class endangered. Leftism and elitism are the same thing.

Having children to feed just means the prices are too high in a capitalist world. The prices get artificially inflated by moving things around a lot more than they need to be, and the 'must have' mentality that follows ads around like it was a ring in their nose.

You forgot single-handily.

Very interesting but the elite manufacture and control the other isms. The most powerful ism is of course elite. If you poison the left you'll be overrun by the right and you'll be off to costco for more warfarin pellets.

The elite of the Right are essentially people who think they can make leftist orthodoxy work effectively from a cost/benefit standpoint. They don't control any of the national institutions except an ineffective Congress.


Neither left nor right represents American workers. The USA should only exist to the extent it serves the interests of American workers. Btw, "workers" includes all people who have to work for a living. In this sense the term includes Marx's working class and the bourgeoisie.

The workers have consistantly failed to protect themselves from the thinkers. Unless thinking people are dealt with there's no hope for worker succession.

Puts a whole new light on that 'give us your homeless and poor' ad to the EU, it was so they could become cannon fodder after being given a few bright beads to play with rather than becoming part of the equals to the EU Elite.

Jekyll and Hyde, each there to protect 'the innocents' from the other. The thinking people need to be in the military if changes are to be long lasting. Military rule doesn't have to mean a roadblock every block. It means there is a car and a truck made, you get to decide which of them you want to own, there is only one model of each for a base price. After that options are as much as you have to spend, black or olive green paint is the only option. New rolling chassis, $1. Gas $5/ltr and AV gas is also sold for more than a little more. Free Enterprise only works if you let the customers decide what direction their interest and their cash goes.

in the other thread that we had on the subject, the OP posted this:





which showed that just about every other country (especially in Europe) that had a lower child poverty rate had a socialistic economy - two threads on the subject but no forum consensus on a possible solution to the problem

Do you really believe that food, clothing and shelter just pop up out of thin air?

Fact is this, people, regardless of political stripe expect something in return for an effort... Think quid pro quo.

Charity is all well and good (I might add, it is far more prevalent and generous in capitalist-founded societies than socialist), however, western society is blinded by the never ending rights and entitlements and that is a byproduct of the socialist mentality that has been fostered by the do-gooders

The workers have consistantly failed to protect themselves from the thinkers. Unless thinking people are dealt with there's no hope for worker succession.

The workers you refer top have been programmed to rely on Big Brother to gently wake in the morning, tuck them into bed at night and all things in between.

Guarantees of security in life coupled with the reliance on those that are prepared to assume risks on their behalf is what is undermining society

Taking the average into account how would this 'fact' alter the poverty line? $20 in the US is about $2 worth of food in most places, it's the other $80 a day you need for the other necessities of life that makes being poor a bitch. Some of them could teach the rich to be able to do the same and that would make the thought of being without money as being something they can take in stride.
An exiled Rothschild gets nothing but $500M in cash and one investment firm and Grandma's private number. I'm pretty sure most Gentiles could get along with 1/2 that and still manage to exit life after the account has been spent to the last cent (30 yrs max, 1/2 that would be just fine) (no natural family line would be the reason no have no blood heirs)

24/7 Wall St.: Countries with the most millionaires
1. United States
> Millionaire Households: 5,220,000
> Ultra High Net Worth Households: 2,692
> GDP (millions of USD): 14,657,800 (highest)
The United States has by far the largest amount of millionaire households, as well as ultra-high-net-worth-households. The U.S. is home to the largest economy in the world — almost three times the size of China's, the next biggest. There is also a growing income gap in the country. In 2009, the top 20% of earners, or those making $100,000 or more a year, made half of all income generated in the country, according to the US Census. The bottom 20% made only 3.4%.


15M so 1/5 or 3M would qualify as taking home 50% of all the money and another 3M at the lower end of that group got 3.4%. What would that leave for the breakdown for those making under that limits as that would seem to be the largest number when counting a taxpayer as a household would be about 150M to share the crumbs. No wonder the wheels are wobbly. The reason it is probably illegal to feed the homeless is the demand at the grocery chains would drop off, that isn't a reason to make them more miserable than need be. That being said going into competition with the established soup kitchen is stupid from the first step. They would be the local experts so start there. It wouldn't bother me to see the schools become the soup kitchens and the parents can join the kids for breakfast and supper after school is out for the day and then the home cupboards are for in between mean snacks.
They all look like a meal and a snack to me so I'll keep my shopping list a secret.

The money given to the poor goes back to corporations, sewage and water, material used $15/mo, service fees $115/mo.

Cliffy if everyone thought like you and lived like you there wouldn't be a food stamp to hand out.

And the only people really screwing with the school lunches are Michelle Obama and the Democrats. Handing out a scoop of dog food, a piece of bread and an apple to public school kids while her daughters have gourmet lunches every day at their private school.
