“In the richest country in the world, almost 30% of the American People live in near poverty. Our political and media establishment have the audacity to say that our economy is “good!” Really?” You might want to think about that. #WilliamsonRising

Other than Norway have seen poor folk everywhere However i dont understand poor people in UK with cradle to grave social welfare system but in US its messed up one has to be in right state

Our poor are as wealthy as many Europeans. They have more conveniences and live in larger homes. They pay less for food fuel and for housing

not good for seniors, 50+ People over the age of 50 already make up around 1/2 of homeless in the US, Dr. Margot Kushel, a professor of medicine & director of UCSF's Ctr for Vulnerable Populations. & the percentage of homeless people over 50 is projected to keep rising.

Have you ever noticed that most of the "worst poverty" is in areas where Money is thrown at the problem instead of helping people work, achieve and prosper? In general, most #Dem ideas of #Free #Free only Promotes more #Poverty & #Dependence. #IhearU

Most of those in poverty are there on their own accord. Oppurtunity is everywhere. And for those that truly need help there are countless programs out there to help. Most of those living in poverty are on dope.

The economy is good for only the rich. Capitalism is the problem.

"It’s time to set again a national goal of eradicating poverty."-MW Yes. Under a Williamson Administration we will be on our way. #marianne2020

You don't have to look too hard, Trump's policies have INTENTIONALLY raised lowest wages.

Exactly! Thank you for stressing this fact. This is also why we need @AndrewYang's policy of #FreedomDividend to help America eradicate #poverty and give Americans more ways to rebuild their lives amidst the #4thIndustrialRevolution.
