    We have the highest poverty rate in the country in California. What has our compassion and empathy done for us so far in that regard?
    Sorry, boo boo........you can never point out a fact to me as long as you support the right wing ideology. They don't even deal in reality.

    However, I can point out a fact to you......racist white men have been in power and in charge of this country since they stole it from the native Americans. What ever stage we are at, however our society is.....it's because of them. They are still governing as they did decades ago. Nothing has changed, they have not evolved, and they are doing every thing they can to keep control.....which is mostly oppression.

    Like I said, you are not ready to discuss the real root of the problem. You're simplistic view of red and blue states leads me to that conclusion.

    We have a homeless and housing crisis in California and 'right wing ideology' says build more housing but California left-wing ideology says don't. We see the results.
    *SIGH* and I told you then the root of the problem is capitalism. ...GREED!

    CA didn't create the Real Estate market that made housing unaffordable........people like your current President did. .....you know the racist white man with power.

    CA didn't close hospitals to help the mentally ill and/or drug addicted who are a majority of the homeless........people like your other President Reagan did......your know the racist white man with power.

    CA didn't start the war that led to hundreds and thousands of homeless vets ....people like your other President did.....NIXON.....you know the racist white man with power.

    Look, I'm not naïve to fall for the right wing projection of their racism onto others.

    You can blame who you want, connect the dots how you want......doesn't make it a fact......

    The undisputed facts are clear in our American History.

    Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty that any other economic system created. Should we run through the mass amounts of killings done by folks like Stalin, Lenin, Mao and Pol Pot all in the name of "the people"?

    What war did Nixon start?

    With all due respect I don't think you understand how markets work. Developers want to build. People in power don't allow it. The anti-development Prop in LA was voted on by the people. Same thing in the Bay Area. This is the community making these decisions.

    You act like liberals in our state can't be greedy.

    Do you think Portland and the state of Oregon are run by right-wingers?
    You have to be one of the most centered person I know.
    You live in the Holy Mecca of Liberals and yet you are able to bitch slap them, when they show their stupidity.

    BRAVO

    One of the biggest lies ever told. That's right up there with the lie of religion.

    With all due respect, only a simple mind would believe that.

    Anyway.....That's not the root of the problem, it's just something simple minds deflect to when they run from their own racist ideology.

    The fact that you think poverty and homelessness is a states issues let's me know you are really clueless cawacky.

    I would suggest you read up on how this country was built, but I don't think you really want to accept the truth.

    This country has been governed by the right for decades. The dems have been compromising, working with, reaching across the aisle to placate the racist agenda of greed, violence and power under the guise of being bi-partisan.

    The problem is, every aspect of the political spectrum from the right is based on racism, greed, power and violence. It should be rejected without compromise. The best thing that happened to this country is the internet. Now people can see how they have been duped by the right and are now holding Dems responsible for extending that olive branch to oppression.

    Americans have been fooled by so called "CONservative" values and are now realizing things need to change.

    It doesn't start with who's in office in CA, it starts with right wing ideology.
    Cool story Bro, even if it was full of liberal fail.

    It was actually started by Eisenhower and Nixon was Vice President.

    Doesn't change the fact that they were racist white men in power.

    Pretty good article from The Economist on this exact issue.


    The world’s next great leap forward
    Towards the end of poverty

    Nearly 1 billion people have been taken out of extreme poverty in 20 years. The world should aim to do the same again

    It is housing restrictions that is driving inequality.
