Poverty

Trump, Pence, Pompeo, John Bolton, Steny Hoyer and the Hitlerite Eliot Abrams are making the pitch to the world as their reason for orchestrating the overthrow of the governments of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua ( by coup or direct war) that they have some kind of humanitarian interests in helping the poor.


Poverty, according to the United States government as defined by Lyndon Johnson when he pushed his “Great Society” initiative that became mired in the swamps of Vietnam, is a state of deprivation, lacking the usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. The most common measure of poverty in the U.S. is the "poverty threshold" set by the U.S. government. This measure recognizes poverty as a lack of those goods and services commonly taken for granted by members of mainstream society.


Over forty-million of our fellow citizens right here in our own country are forced to endure poverty because these same lying imperialist morons who claim to want to help people in poverty in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua have never lifted one little finger to alleviate, let alone eliminate, poverty right here in our own country. Only a complete fool can fail to see the outright hypocrisy in all of this.
