According to National Center for Children in Poverty "about 15 million children in USA – 21% of all children – live in families w/ incomes below the federal poverty threshold. 43% of children live in low-income families." This in the richest country in the world. Economy booming!

If you’re in the right percentile. Slavery might have been abolished, but it thrives in the home of the free. Usury knows no color, creed or religion. If you do everything just right, they’ll let you look through the door, but you’ll never be a member of the club.

Yep. That right there tells you everything you need to know about “trickle down economics.” It never trickles to the mothers and children! #Alberta - #Canada’s richest province also has the poorest single mothers. Or did under prior governments.

Yes, sadly it's true. I see them every day or so. Panhandling with a child is e z money too. If, in fact, they get any of it. Desperation eats away at everyone out here, but the kids get used a lot. Sad the nation looks to a WALL to protect us. Who's Going to protect these kids?

Most of those are probably single family homes on welfare, food stamps and high crimes areas.This is where our energy could and should be spent not protesting ,destroying property ,wearing mask ,hitting punching people who they think disagree with them.
