“People are poor.”
The median world income is $2/day. If you are making more than half the people on the planet, you’re not poor. The USA poverty line is 20x that.
Yep, they sure are --- and this Government's to blame for the high, punitave tax rates that are causing it!
My point was that there will always be people on each end of any spectrum of wealth measurement. If there is a squirrel with 10 nuts, and one with 6 nuts, there is a “rich” squirrel and a “poor” squirrel.
There will always be “poor” people because words are used to describe how people match up financially. There is NO WAY to make sure we all have the same. Even pure Communism needs a ruling party, outside the system, to “divvy” it all up among the suckers underneath.
So “poor people,” people with less resources than others, will have LESS STUFF than others. They will struggle to meet their basic needs.
People who have more always wish to help those who have less, especially by “teaching them to fish” and demonstrating how to become self-sufficient. People who are not poor ALWAYS wish to help the truly helpless.
None of these natural facts of life have any business being controlled by any body of governmental representatives.
