46 Million On Food Stamps..., Meanwhile Those With Mutual Funds And Retirement Plans Could Care Less

THE RIGHT WINGERS AND THE RICH WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OVER ALL THE PEOPLE GETTING FOODS STAMPS IN AMERICA..., 46 MILLION PEOPLE! 14% OF THE COUNTRY RELIES ON THIS GOVERNMENT BENEFIT TO EAT. THAT'S RIGHT, OUT OF 320,061,700 PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY, 46 MILLION NEED FOOD STAMPS JUST TO HAVE SOME FOOD.

PUT IT BLUNTLY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE 130% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS WHICH TRANSLATES INTO BEING NEARLY DESTITUTE. YET THE RICHIES ALWAYS BLAME THE POOR FOR THEIR PREDICAMENT. MEANWHILE, THESE RICH PRICKS ARE POURING OVER THEIR MONTHLY MUTUAL FUND STATEMENTS AND STOCK REPORTS TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT DIVIDEND WILL PAY AND WHAT THEIR NEXT BONUS WILL PAY. THEY LOOK DOWN ON THE POOR, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL BET IF THE STOCK MARKET CRASHES AND WIPES THESE PHONEY-RAM-A RICHES OUT, THEY WOULD RATHER COMMIT SUICIDE THAN TO LIVE WITHOUT MONEY!

WHILE EXTREME POVERTY IS RARE IN THE US, IT IS NO STRANGER TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. EVEN THOUGH EXTREME POVERTY HAS DECLINED QUITE A BIT SINCE 1980, OVER ONE FIFTH OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION LIVES IN EXTREME POVERTY. IN CONTRAST THE POOR IN THE US COULD BE CONSIDERED WEALTHY BY THE EXTREMELY POOR IN THE REST OF THE WORLD BECAUSE THE EXTREME POOR SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD LIVE ON LESS THAN A DOLLAR-TWENTY FIVE A DAY.

AS THE CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH HAS MIGRATED TO FEWER HANDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE ONCE BURGEONING MIDDLE CLASS HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF IT'S PURCHASING POWER BY WAGE STAGNATION AND WAGE COMPRESSION FEWER WORKERS HAVE ANY HOPE TO BREAK OUT OF AN EXISTENCE MIRED IN CREDIT CARD, STUDENT LOAN, AUTOMOBILE AND MORTGAGE DEBT.

FIFTY PERCENT OF THE WORKERS IN THE US MAKE LESS THAN $30,000 A YEAR. NEWLY MINTED GRADUATES FROM THE NATIONS COLLEGES ARE MIRED IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT TO THE TUNE OF $30-$80,000 AND LANDING JOBS(IF THEY'RE LUCKY) PAYING $30-$35,000 A YEAR. THIS IS THE REALITY. THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL. THERE IS NO WAY OUT, NO WHERE TO RUN. THE SEEDS OF REVOLUTION HAVE BEEN SOWN. 

THE RICH LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSES AND SNICKER,"46 MILLION PEOPLE IN AMERICA ON FOODSTAMPS, THOSE LAZY SODS!" WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE STOCK MARKET CRASHES AND THEY SUDDENLY FIND THEMSELVES DESTITUTE AND AT THE MERCY OF THE FATES.
