Awwww..poor Jesse is feeling neglected and it's time for him to get an ego boost from the press. He needs a pity party.
Jesse is not decent. He only helps those who will help Jesse's cause and bank account.
Amen! Jesse is only looking out for him and his entourage. More money for his pockets...As long as he keeps minorities voting democrat, he knows he will have millions. When minorites start voting Republican--he is losing his millions...
I hope to see Jesse and Al Sharpton bankrupt soon...
[Jackson is a hypocritical adulterer who runs a corrupt organization that is probably the envy of organized crime everywhere.]
Amen!
i.e., Poverty BE up. or "The povertitious be increasing magnitudinally under the present KKK administration, which represents the slave-holders."
The author of your otherwise interesting post needs many lessons in politically correct prose. Furthermore, asking Jesse for statisical back-up is simply not done. Whenever Jesse say something, you all say "Amen ... that be all right."
For that matter, "poverty," as defined by the US government is an arbitrary income level that has absolutely nothing to do with being "poor." "Poor" people in America have a higher standard of living than most of the world (and live better than the average western European).
Jackson is not a Christian, he's a Marxist. He worships Karl Marx --- "from those according to their ability, to those according to their needs" --- Jesus Christ never demanded that Peter be robbed to pay Paul if Paul didn't want to work.
All I can say is .... BT
He goes on to make a point that, during the presidency of George W. Bush, poverty...including childhood poverty...is up.
Of course only Jesses illegitimet brats are exempt from being impoverished since his Rainbo coalition is his own personal slut fund.
I think we need to be willing to talk about poverty. In fact, talking about and taking real steps toward eliminating it is a continual responsibility for a free, democratic Republic. The best defense against communist or other revolutionary takeover is to maintain vigilance toward the shortcomings of capitalism.
But the New Deal should have expired in 1945, and the Great Society "war on poverty" eventually failed. I prefer a modest amount of help only to the most poverty-stricken and infirm combined with a program for economic stimulus. President Bush's "Ownership" initiatives have done more to increase the wellbeing of less fortunate than anything else, IMHO.
Tax cuts, cutting through government red tape, and encouraging industries to thrive by keeping our government hands off of them is the best thing we can do for the vast majority of poor people. I would add that ending illegal and excessive immigration would help, as well. Ask a construction worker, construction contractor, or laid off programmer what they think of cheap immigrant labor.
I also believe we need to encourage affordable education, but not at the expense of home-taught morals. I also think higher public education has to be totally reformed before our tax dollars continue to feed the flames of anti-Americanism. From Aztlan to a million Mogadishus, from Derrida to Alice Walker, our state college campuses are hives of irrelevant "dissent" and Sadistic rage. Your tax dollars at work!
true, but cost of living is also higher in the USA
No it isn't. And I was talking about standard of living, not income levels. The "poor" in America earn more AND live better than the average European.

Adding to the black illegitimacy rate. What a fine example.
Here is a picture of Jesse Jackson marching with N.O.W. (National Organization of Women, a liberal feminist group) members against Welfare Reform, along with the results of the reforms they opposed. State Reform took effect around 1992-1994 and the National Bill was passed in 1996. The Republicans swept the house in 1994 promising a Contract with America. People are the same the world over. It is the political structure and governmental interference that make all the difference. Get Government out of peoples lives and they will succeed. To believe people cannot succeed without government help is to subscribe to what President Bush calls, the soft bigotry of low expectations. The reason they arent succeeding is BECAUSE of the government help, which only serves to subsidize poverty and single motherhood! For some reason, saying these things and passing bills that help millions of people out of poverty is said by the left to be cruel, hardnosed and racist.
(all numbers in this chart drop dramatically (following welfare reform [state reform 1992-94, national reform 1996]).
One of Jesses sons was given a Budweiser distributorship on the near west side of Chicago. I don't thinks he's poor anymore.
