Book : Poor kids in a rich country

It this book it is shown that the US has a child poverty rate that is 10 times higher than in some northern european socialist countries.

Now can i get a "christian conservative" to tell me that a country should not be judged on insignificant matters like child poverty.

I'm sure you crackpots are out there

I'm niether a christian nor a conservative but I know the quickest way to end poverty is applied socialism.

Then, everyone will have no job, food, or property, and the concept of 'poverty' is eliminated.

Das vidanya, comrade.

Yes.

Because there is a price that comes with those benefits. Eliminating poverty comes at the cost of opportunity and personal freedom. For most people (at least in America), the trade off is not worth it.

Yes, child poverty is insignificant when compared to, say, Defense.

Defense of what?
