So what do you propose is the solution? When the top 1% of the nation earn 24% of its wealth, 99% still have to live and eat. When 25% of children are at or near poverty level, what is your proposal? When thousands apply for a single job, what is your proposal?

What does it tell you about American values when a report on Poverty in America gets so little attention in MSM? America has moved, maybe we could say brain washed and propagandized, so far from it original values of faith, hope, and charity, that we are now a nation of the selfish haves and everyone else. What a sad nation the conservatives and republicans are creating. 'Weirdness' as George Will used the word is a pure euphemism, greed and actual stupidity are closer to the truth.

'One in four African-Americans lives below the federal poverty line, compared to about one in eight Americans overall. In 2009, the poverty line for a family of two adults and two children was $21,756.'

'Poverty among African-American children is especially alarming—putting a generation at risk. More than a third (35.7 percent) of all African-American children lives in poverty, compared to one in five children living in poverty in the country as a whole.' Above quote from here.
