An inflation indexed poverty level. Well if you’re going to believe in poverty levels at all, then inflation indexing them would seem to make sense. But, will deflation cause these levels to fall?
Ah yes, the old change the game to match the new rules ploy.....
Yes. And we need to do the same.
The bible already says the poor will always be with us.
Median world income is $2/day per person.
If you’re making more than half the people on the planet, you’re not poor.
So Obama denigrates success and elevates failure. Whats new about that? Level the playing field doncha know. And add some numbers to it - call it science - worked for Algore.
Fraud
“Under the Obama system, poverty can be reduced only if the incomes of the ‘poor’ are rising faster than the incomes of everyone else.”
Well, we’ve been GIVING ‘poor’ people money, cheap housing, free food, free medical, free education, free bus passes, not limiting them to the number of kids they can have and paying for each and every one for about 50 years now.
And they’re still poor...and there’s more of them than ever before! If you build it, they WILL come.
This is just another sneaky way the Left can conduct more wealth redistribution. They’re not fooling me...or many others, anymore.
I wonder what our future slave owners, the Chinese, think about this new waste of their money.
There is a vast poverty bureaucracy. This insures that its members will always be employed. Very clever move on their part.
Communism: Keep fixing it until it stays broke.
This should tick a lot of people off.
Just like this dummb move by zero.
Repeat after me...Socialism is your friend....Mmmm,Mmmm,Mmmm
Kiss this experiment goodbye, unless something is done real soon.
Obama must have been sleeping in church this day:
Don't Compare Yourself To Others
Romans 12 v 4 - 6
In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvellously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't.
Leftism is a sin.
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list...
They are waging war on all fronts.
Exactly!
Part of the “Spread the Wealth” campaign....surprised he has not declared a ‘Man-Caused Poverty Contingency Operation’...... =.=
...the new income thresholds will have a built-in escalator clause: They will rise automatically in direct proportion to any rise in the living standards of the average American.The federal graduated income tax, on the other hand...
The existing poor standards in the U.S.A. is repetitively wealthy by other EUROPEAN standards!
How much higher will they go?
Since the average American standard of living is falling, that means these folks will get LESS, right? Right?
