It's everyone else's fault. It's the CEO running the company that provides them with a job. It's the politicians who pass laws like increased minimum wage, stimulus packages, and extended unemployment benefits. It's the rich families in the suburbs who give to charity.

Increasing the minimum wage increases poverty because poor people who are unskilled now has a more difficult time to get a job. Stimulus packages makes the country poorer since most of it is pork barrel waste. The $1.9 trillion stimulus package we don't have the money to pay for it, where do we get the funds? The money has to be printed, which means inflation.

Big government doesn't make the country rich, it makes the country poorer, and it's unfortunate we have people like Orlando_Jordan who believes in big government, but at the same time is brainwashed into thinking the US is a free country.

Why is rich/poor the only thing you make topics about now? You used to at least mix it up a bit.

You're literally, actually right. That's what's ironic about this kind of conservative take. Those three groups are, in fact, the problem

How is the government helping the poor? Because you seem so ignorant to what the government is doing and the cost of living skyrocketing to the point that poor people are having difficulty to make ends meet. Economic security is becoming more rare in America even for the middle class. Between medical costs, transportation costs, housing, food and college debt, Americans are one economic downturn or one lost job away from homelessness. It's not just the poor that is suffering.

If I lost my job, I wouldn't be homeless for a year.

ok then "fuck everyone else, i got mine" should be the conservative motto.

and when we reduce liberal vs conservative down to those most basic points, it's clear which side is full of selfish assholes and which sides actually cares about people, ya know?

If you're born poor you'll likely stay poor.

But if you're not born poor and you don't have some type of handicap or trauma, but still end up poor, I dunno man.
