@thedailyshow: "The way we measure poverty in this country is not only a lie... it's a damn lie." Author of "White Poverty" Rev. Dr. William Barber #DailyShow #JonStewart #Poverty
And we’ve conditioned poor people to advocate for giving more to the wealthy

But if there isn't poor people, who's is going to serve in the army, willingly? Who are they going to send to kill/get killed people in faraway countries (only to neglect them once they are home?)

We aren't a rich country. We are a country with some rich people that ignore the suffering of those around them.

Poverty by America is a fantastic book 10/10. Recommend it for everyone I’m 21. It reads like butter.

We always measure the economy by how the rich are doing. We need to measure it by the poor.

I wish he would add , what % of those poor are working poor. We as a nation support the working poor while the biz owners many big corps push profits over living wages & Pay CEO’s exorbitant salaries

The problem is capitalism doesn’t work without keeping a good number of the population in poverty. That’s where we need to start looking at this problem.

This is so true. And it’s almost a death match to climb and scrath your way out of poverty. The system is there to keep people in poverty.

Many people seem to believe that their God rewards good and punishes evil and therefore poor people must have done something to displease God and somehow deserve poverty.

This man was just so honest with those statistics. Typically, depending on who is trying to make the point, only the part they want emphasized is quoted .

Some of the poorest people in america is white but yet they will vote against their own interests because they believe that they are better than all people of color instead of joining the rest of us

Keeping YT people poor is how they can control them. They use them in YT supremacy. Those are their foot soldiers.

They want poverty to have a Black face so the problem is never fixed and we cannot align our interests across racial lines. If poverty had a White face, the problem will be fixed.
