Numbers 7 and 8 are misleading to say the least. When poverty statistics are formulated, they do NOT include all the “freebies” that people recieve from the taxpayers. So a family could be getting food stamps, free meals for the kids at school, free or subsidized housing and utilities, free medical care, and even a free cell phone! and none of that is counted as income. So they could be receiving all these benefits plus have some income but they are still counted as living in poverty.
It is not the “poor” who are being tooled. It’s the middle class. Pretty soon there won’t be one. We will have the very rich and the dependent class. Sounds like third world socialist hell doesn’t it?

I zeroed in on those too. The poverty rate is an arbitrary number. If you have a non-dirt floor where you live, a car and a tv, you’re not poor.
The middle class is being tooled so we will accept that we are not really poor because we should get on the plantation and big mama government will take care of us. They are making you want to believe you will still have all these goodies as they rip the rug right out from under you.
Unfortunately by doing this, you have given up any hope that your life will be meaningful as well as future generations.
