That’s not to say that there are zero poor people, but their numbers are so small that their problems could easily be solved by a tiny percentage of the Government money leftist politicians claim is being spent on anti-poverty programs. The problem, of course, is that the numbers of truly poor Americans is so small that they represent an insignificant voting bloc, so the left isn’t really interested in them. They’re significantly more interested in the irresponsible people that they can convince are “poor” due to Republicans and capitalism.
The best way to help poor people in america is to kick out all the illegals. This will increase demand for labor and drive up wages.
In my opinion anyway. I’m not an economist, but it seems to me it would be a solution.
