    lets compare 4% of Americans living on $2 a day or less to some other places.

    China 3.5%
    Russia .1%
    Gaza/West Bank .3%
    Jordan 1.6%
    Agentina (urban areas) 1.9%

    percentages brought to you by the world bank via Thom Hartmann.

    For 7 years of my life i worked in direct contact with homeless people 4 nights a week. In those years i came across 1 small family who was legit homeless through not much fault of themselves.

    Majority of homeless are in the predictement Because of: Drugs, alcohol, mental illness and a ton of pure stupidity, not because of a democrat or republican. Although, we will experience a new wave of homelessness due to the actions and lack of actions by our elected representatives and the federal reserve.

    You constantly talk about this left right paradigm and how intelligent you are, but show on a consistent bases you ate the shit pie feed to you buy your beloved politicians.
