“CEOs receive $38 million to $70 million per year and more, plus benefits.”
Not to mention $65 million for book advances.
Oh, that’s right. It’s been almost 10 yrs since I saw them.
For most homeless and hungry children, the solution may well be to take them away from their parents and put them in group homes. They could learn a useful trade, like chimney sweeping, and not be influenced by their worthless, dope -addled, and likely mentally ill parents.
Any child that is hungry in this country is being neglected——it’s not the fault of society or the rich.

Thank God for the rich and the greedy!
Currently in Los Angeles alone, from laurel canyon to the sea between Mulholland and Sunset, which is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods there is. In just one gated community of 75 houses I know of, has between 2000-3000 people coming through the gates doing various types of work for those rich and greedy people every single day. There are at least 1 Million people traveling in to that area everyday doing work for those folks. This is Just in their Homes. The average home on the west side has 2-5 employees Full Time.
The maintenance and up keep on some of these houses are unbelievable, the average house greater than 20,000 sq ft runs about $100K per month to keep the lights on, all in. I know at least a few hundred people that have water bills between $50K and $100K per Month, Electricity Starts at $10K per month to power the smaller places.
A whole lot of those jobs are upper middle class skilled trades and assorted things, at least half. I am in one of them.
“This extreme wealth is truly obscene.”
As opposed to?
The right to own wealth is under attack here. The accumulation of wealth is necessary for the possibility of civilization having improved standards of living.
These guys are either total fools, diabolically deceptive, or both. People with “extreme wealth” are like Donald Trump. Their wealth takes the form of investments which create jobs, real estate which is developed into job-producing businesses like hotels, and on and on.
They cynically attack the supposed greed of all who have wealth, while in the same breath promoting the ultimate greed of socialism / communism. Hypocrites. Socialism and Communism do NOT reduce the concentration of wealth. They exacerbate it while transferring wealth unjustly into the hands of wealthy elite who control our laws, education, media, military complex, international policy, and banking.
Apply socialism to the wealthy socialists. Take the wealth from people like George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and the long list of wealthy socialists who made their billions playing and manipulating the markets, and then want to kick the ladder out from under them to stifle peasant-class innovators from rising to the top.
And while you’re at it, apply gun control to the liberals who advocate it.
Liberals should never have accumulated wealth or own any guns. Whenever they get either, they use them to promote tyranny. They use them to kill people.
Please note the caveat, “counterproductive”, that qualifies “government bureaucrats”.
If 1 in 4 kids go to bed hungry, why do we have a childhood obesity problem?
Daughters and sons should not be taken from their parents by the government because the parents are poor.
Walmart has 2.3 million employees world wide.
Between full time and part time workers, that's about 3 BILLION man hours a year.
That equals about .728 CENTS an hour per person
For someone working 40 hours a week, that would be 29 cents a week...before taxes.
I grew up in Chino circa 1964-74. We had several B-list to Z-list actors living there at that time.
According to a 2013 Economic Policy Institute report, “to be in the top one percent nationally, a family needs an income of $389,436.” However, the threshold varies significantly among states. In Connecticut, for example, you need an annual income of $659,979 to be in the one percent. In New Mexico, it’s $231,276.
Keep in mind that these numbers just represent the threshold — the average income of the top one percent nationwide is $1.15 million.
Ah, the joys of government statistics. They probably took the statistics on "food insecurity" which ranges from actual starvation to once in the last year that you wouldn't have enough food for sufficient variety or desirability. So if you were worried about running out of money at the end of the month last August and had buy rice and beans or a cheaper cut of pork than you wanted, this bozo would count your children as hungry.
Food Security
High food security (old label=Food security): no reported indications of food-access problems or limitations.
Marginal food security (old label=Food security): one or two reported indications—typically of anxiety over food sufficiency or shortage of food in the house. Little or no indication of changes in diets or food intake.
Food Insecurity
Low food security (old label=Food insecurity without hunger): reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake.
Very low food security (old label=Food insecurity with hunger): Reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake.
For eight years the fakestream presstitutes ignored the growing number of Obamaville homeless.
We knew they’d discover them as soon as Trump took office.

BWAHAHAHAHA
What an idiot. Wonder what he thinks about movie stars and music folks
Obviously those supporting Ossoff would have gotten better results from feeding the homeless and hungry children of America instead of trying to buy votes.
No kiddin?
