    You're not even very good at supporting conspiracy theory! Get back to me when you have a serious comment to make

    Are you really claiming that you have no ablitity to discover truth value through argumentation, with your current methodologies?

    This is just more incoherence. You were asked to do one thing: present evidence to support your ramble (on and on and on) over unemployment. You've delivered naff all of course

    In that spirit of childishness and intellectual poverty , "You are bereft of resources once pressure is created . "
    Get back to me when you have worked out a defence to quite specific charges and resisted the label of being , intellectually bereft "

    Blag to add to the conspiracy theory. How tedious! If you have anything to say about US poverty let us know, otherwise it might be a good idea to visit elsewhere

    The nation is this poor because Democrats live off of it. They think they are helping, but they are only holding these people back. Why work, when the govt can just give me money for doing nothing, maybe even for doing drugs. There are the legitimate poor that need help, the legitimate disabled that deserve help, but then there is the poor minority that the Democratic party thinks they have to help. Yet all they do is enable, not help. People need motivation, not handmeouts. People need a reason to succeed, a drive, something. Handouts do not do this.

    The war on poverty is the only war guaranteed the US will never win. Why, because you can't make people do things, and the US govt shouldn't be in that business anyways. I won't even go into the broken family kids that are born for the main reason of receiving money from the govt.

    The problem for you, ensuring that your argument falls totally apart, is that the US has a less generous welfare system than their European counterparts. The welfare whinge can therefore not be used to explain high US poverty

    In my opinion, this is a potential fallacy of false cause. you may be confusing being poor with being in official poverty. They are not the same.

    Why do you believe a work ethic is necessary in one of the most modern economies in the world, where corporate welfare even pays multimillion dollar bonuses?

    Why do you believe that merely ensuring full employment of those (monetary) resources will not increase the circulation of money in money based markets, regardless of a work ethic?
