U.S. policy does not just abandon or neglect the poor; it punishes the poor.

It makes ppl poor
Replying to @marwilliamson
With major geopolitical shifts, an aging workforce, low birth rate, AI transitioning workforce, largest population group as seniors, obesity epidemic accelerating chronic disease, war escalation, massive federal debt, billions given to Ukraine with zero accountability required and more - it always seems like none of these major issues/changes that greatly impact economic realities for now or near future are discussed in relation to funding any social services and availability of funds. Why is that?

Please put support for a Dividend-based system (UBI/FreedomDividend/AI Dividend) on your platform. Even though you are focused on a short-term solution and I disagree with that, having at least generalized support for such as solution is a must for your platform.

Meanwhile, while it's US policy to punish the poor, incarcerate the poor... Its economic policies... consolidation, monopoly, laissez-faire... manufacture the poor. 1)

The constitution: government of, by and for the people. Explain to me how forcing people to work for low wages is governing "for the people" when there is a solution to poverty & the welfare state: unconditional basic income, which keeps consumers buying thus helping businesses.

Someone has to be the scapegoat of every compromise within the elites #ThePoor

The only set of people that do not currently pay their fair share of taxes are the millionaires & billionaires, & they have majority millionaire politicians in congress to shield them. #TheRotSystem
