Reply #13: well, they are right

What is most interesting about the dramatic increases of Americans living in poverty...

is the poverty line itself has not changed, so I wonder just how many really are living in poverty if the poverty line was adjusted for inflation.

Anyway, they cannot ship the good paying jobs offshore, now insource, refuse to give health care at reasonable cost, dramatically increase tuition so educational opportunities are out of research, increase taxes on the lower income brackets and in general steal of the poor and give to the rich (take for example the now mega salaries of CEOs)
and not expect America to change and millions are now in poverty.
