Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Is working for an agency a requirement for having an opinion?

So far I have seen nothing from the experts about how to eliminate the roots of poverty. All I see are patches being applied while the problem grows worse and this is blamed on a ficticious straw man, Boss Hogg.

All you can think about is helping the poor buggers who cannot help themselves as if they don't have the mentality. Hang a carrot on a stick etc.

On the redistribution of wealth I see no methology put forward, no facts and figures except stats which Bobert claims he don't need, supposedly showing the terrible injustices of who owns what.

Here is blabber "cutting back the Bush tax cuts for the upper 5%," After saying "This discussion ain't about Bush or Clinton" He goes back to saying it is about Bush.

Bobert, just what were those tax cuts dollar wise and how much would this amount would go to the poor?

Taxes were cut 33.3% for the bottom bracket and 16.6% for the top bracket.
