    The single mother in this study is the type of person to be proud of. She is a single mother trying to better herself by attending technical college. This is a person I have no problem helping.

    Amazon employs 541,900.
    Skilled employees (software engineers) earn in excess of 100K and unskilled full time warehouse employees earn $13.85 an hour.
    Amazon provides medical coverage among other perks.

    All cities give corporations tax breaks to lure their business to their city or state.
    What city or state wouldn’t want a company like Amazon

    The power structure must attack the poor, especially as their numbers grow as wealth inequity expands. Otherwise, the people may begin to question the system itself that produces so much poverty.

    I don't understand. I think the US is very backward, actually, and will not be early to do anything. After all, you elected a senile Nazi years after his Great Model died in Germany!

    You don't understand why I would ask if anyone in the world practices what you would like to be seen done?

    According to the Credit Suisse 2018 Global Wealth Databook, 34 million American adults are among the WORLD’S POOREST 10%. How is that possible? In a word, debt. In more excruciating words: stifling, misery-inducing, deadly amounts of debt for the poorest Americans. And it goes beyond dollars to the “deaths of despair” caused by the stresses of inferior health care coverage, stagnating incomes, and out-of-control inequality.

    Numerous sources report on the rising debt for the poor half of America, especially for the lowest income group, and largely because of health care and education costs. Since 2008 consumer debt has risen almost 50 percent. The percentage of families with more debt than savings is higher now than at any time since 1962.

    It could be argued that Scandinavian countries face the same degrees of debt as Americans. But far less of the debt is for health and education costs. And the Scandinavian safety net is renowned for its generous provisions for all citizens.

    Half of Us are In or Near Poverty

    Look at them as opportunities for YOU to prove that the claims you make about caring about them are anything but claims. If they have have "inferior health care coverage", feel free to voluntarily provide the amount they need to have better. For anyone you feel the education debt is too large, either pay their loans with you money or pay their tuition with your money. Either way, prove your damn claims about caring.

    We didn't charge the Soviet Union. How did they work out for you? Or is it America's fault they failed as well?

    As you know, your storm-troopers (and ours and sixteen other's) created state capitalism there by murdering the socialists. You must have been in the padded place a very long time!
