... Hardship is particularly on the rise among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among that racial group about their families' economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987. In the most recent AP-GfK poll, 63 percent of whites called the economy "poor." ... More than 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four, accounting for more than 41 percent of the nation's destitute, nearly double the number of poor blacks.

nobama: "Heh, heh, heh, the fundamental change I promised is working perfectly."

I can't believe Congress is just sitting around letting this happen. nobama must have major blackmail info on all of them.

Survival of the fittest. I couldn’t believe they allowed O-care, or Benghazi, or NSA, or Drones, or “Hate Crimes Legislation”, or open borders, or Fast and Furious...

Whew. Good thing we’re in a recovery.

But remember...Mitt Romney is an SOB for his 47% truism.

All I know is, all the homeless and beggars I see around here lately are whites with American accents. Obama must be cackling with glee.

Campaign slogan for 2013: The Democrat Party’s War on Whites

Obama and the Dems are so busy stirring the racial pot. Let them deny it.

Well, obviously, the solution is more Government programs on the ol’ national credit card. [/s]

Redistribution of the wealth works so well. Everybody gets to share in the poverty.

[Chaguito]

Brought down a notch? Check.

Bottom line message here is ...

Majorities get what they vote for.

Some advice ... be prepared.

I would imagine just about everyone out there caught this.  1987?  That was post the Reagan boom.  Why didn't they mention 'since 1980'?  That was directly after Carter worked his magic.  The media in this nation is so screwed up.

FOLKS, THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN, PLEASE CLICK HERE AND PENCIL IN YOUR DONATION TO HELP END THIS FREEPATHON.  THANK YOU!

The F, the B, and the I started practicing their blackmail skills the day J. Edgar Hoover was sworn into office.

WTF???? 4 in 5?!?!?!?! I know the AP is a propaganda organ for the ever expanding Welfare State but this is ridiculous even for them. The irony is that the part about "relying on transfer payments" is not a sign of poverty but rather, as sign of how pervasively the Welfare State has infested the middle class in America. Everyone gets some type of a transfer payment. Its the reason the country is swirling down the toilet financially.

We create jobs in the fast food industry. Either you make it or you’re poor. There are no jobs in between. It kills me when people here go on about what do people expect to make working at McDonalds. A living. Thats all. Not poverty.
