It's not Obama's fault real median income has dropped since 2000. What happened in 2000 anyway?

James!: Is this about the refrigerators again?

I bet a lot of them have phones too!

I'll bet they can heat and preserve food also!! The poor must suffer!!! This is an outrage!!!

So is Dec. 27 some kind of annual Troll Thread Day?

Well, as long as the US isn't worst in the world, everything's fine!

(Protip: If I was poor, the US would not even be in my top 30 countries to be in)

My, that was derpy....

The poor, impoverished GM stockholders?

Gergesa: I'll bet they can heat and preserve food also!! The poor must suffer!!! This is an outrage!!!

If they suffer enough, they'll stop being poor!

They'll be dead.

Kibbler: So is Dec. 27 some kind of annual Troll Thread Day?

It's Stupid Tuesday, apparently.

Right wing's racket: Define poverty as anything north of $100 million a year, cut taxes to that group, and use dog whistles to convince reality-challenged NASCAR fans that all federal spending other than "defense" is secret slave reparations going to you-know-whats whose children need to get work ethics.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The US is an extremely rich nation, but it's also an exceedingly poor one. That's why our median income is so low.

But if you'd like to continue pretending that there's not a problem with wealth inequality in this country, that's fine. Just don't complain when you find yourself with your back against the wall.

What a racket, people in need might receive social services that help them. He truly is a monster.

Wendy's Chili: James!: Is this about the refrigerators again?

And boots to boot!

Aww, you say all that like it is a bad thing. Redistribution, regulation, unions, social justice, socialism are all good things that make America great. The reason that the US is now languishing in horrible unemployment records, massive welfare, and a slow growing economy is because we led the Republitards convince us that these things are bad.

We need more Socialism, more redistribution, more unions, more regulation in order to insure growth and security for everyone.

If you have a refrigerator and indoor plumbing then you can't be poor. Fox told me so.

truthseeker2083: Kibbler: So is Dec. 27 some kind of annual Troll Thread Day?

And how is it different from every other day here?

I've seen two of what I would describe as the most flagrantly let's-shake-the-spider-jar threads greenlit this morning alone. Just seems off the scale today.

For Republicans, every day is stupid Tuesday. Especially when math is involved.

NO! NO! NO! See the Right wing's racket is to define the wealthy as anyone making more then 30K a year when talking about taxes and social redistribution, and define anyone not in the top tax bracket as poor when talking about economic growth and job opportunities.

That way you can bash your Democratic opponent for both being a tax and spend Socialist that wants to steal your money, and a do nothing Democrat who is clueless about the economy. Throw in something about Job Creators needing a tax break and you have the Republitard message.

winterwhile: whne the average Peasant in the usa has $10,000 more to actually spend at evil walmart

every year

than the average poor in Europe?

how is that????????

The poor person in America has no healthcare or access to effective mass transit.

How dare he cater to the majority.

theorellior: So... the 2011 poverty line was set at $22,350 for a family of four. I would extend the challenge to anyone who works at American Stinker to live at that level for a single month. Difficulty: do it without any soul-sapping fascistic government socialism.

$22,350 is a pretty sweet amount of money to get for just 1 month.

Slaves2Darkness: We need more Socialism, more redistribution, more unions, more regulation in order to insure growth and security for everyone.

Even a stopped clock.

winterwhile: actually if you wanted it, they would be employed, and not need anything

yeah if everyone in America had a good job nobody would be poor and stuff.
