I think the perfect response would be to take our UN dues for the next five years, and donate it to homeless shelters instead.
While welfare benefits and access to health insurance are being slashed, President Donald Trump’s tax reform has awarded “financial windfalls” to the mega-rich and large companies, further increasing inequality, he said in a report.
The old canard if a rich man gets a bigger piece of the pie the poor man gets less. The Australian Communist needs to tell the truth. "A rising tide lifts all boats." The poor in America are richer than 99% of the rest of the world.
Now check out the line for India. India’s poorest ventile corresponds with the 4th poorest percentile worldwide. And its richest? The 68th percentile. Yes, that’s right: America’s poorest are, as a group, about as rich as India’s richest.All of which should be something of a reality check for those who insist that America's poor are being forgotten, left behind and all the rest.
Well I guess the Mexican government is preparing for an onslaught of illegal US citizen border crossers seeking economic relief......BSBSBSBSBS........
The author is a left wing law professor working for the UN, a total apparatchik for an organization that is anti USA.
Great points.
We have the richest poor people in the world, and the UN is whining...
I guess the people of Haiti can rest easy now.
I think this UN character, Philip Alston, got his countries mixed up.
Surely he is speaking of that socialist success story down in Venezuela and not the abject failure of the US.
The U.S. poor have the highest standard of living worldwide.
I know warehouses and truck docks so desperate for help that hey are hiring illegals and using them until they are caught. The labor used in the wooden pallet business in the US is about 90% illegals.
The only explanation must be that Public Assistance isn't rising as fast as wages and the lazy good for nothings are becoming poorer in relation to WORKERS.
there are liars and there are damned liars. The UN is one of hr latter.
The obese class is all over the country. I can’t visit any large restaurant where less than half are obese. Ditto with grocery stores.
Last November we were on a 5 day cruise on Carnical Elation ship. I would say at least 70% (excluding children) of passengers were Obese.
Sometimes they are referred to as U.N. Experts but most of the time they are known as fools and idiots.
That’s certainly true. Just noting that in this instance, it’s pretty risible to speak of US “poverty” as if it’s some crisis (a new one under President Trump of course), while this “impoverished class” could feed an entire tribe of cannibals, and probably for some time.

McJobs was their chant during Bush 2. As soon a Jug Ears took office that term disappeared then the entire economy tanked. The press and the ComDems ignored the job reports that showed during Jug Ears reign most of the jobs that were created were truly McJobs and that at least 85% of them were being taken by illegals and other immigrants.
Several years ago I was working at a retail store as a manger. This was just after Obama basically ended my career field and put me out of business.
Anyway, there was a large shopping center across the street and from Spring through the Summer a woman in a Burka stood on a corner in that shopping center with a sign begging for money to eat. One of my friends, who was a sheriff deputy, was off duty and was shopping when he saw her being picked up by a new, 15 pax, van that had several others inside.
He followed that van until it parked at a brand new home in a new subdivision. The homes in that area went for around $800K at that time. He told me eight people got out of the van and went into the house.
He decided to investigate and found those people would beg all over the better parts of the county. He then opened a official investigation and found there were ten people living in that home, all ten were getting Welfare, EBT, and the extra benefits from the Feds that were given to immigrants.
He finally got their scam shut down and they left our county.
She was on a liquid barley diet...
