Stop letting the rich tell you poverty is a moral failure. They just don’t want to pay their taxes.

Everyone deserves food.
Everyone deserves shelter.
Everyone deserves healthcare.

And in the richest country in the world, we can afford to give it to people.

@WorkingFamilies @HeavenlyPossum I found one of the points in this article interesting; that it is folks just above the bottom, the working class whites with steady jobs, who spend the most time saying the impoverished are a moral failure. Is this true? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/06/24/democrats-white-working-class-00041807
What Republicans Know (and Democrats Don’t) About the White Working Class

There’s an important social and economic divide that drives working-class whites that progressive elites mostly miss — to their political peril.

@WorkingFamilies if poverty is the result of moral failure then how come the richest people out there are such monsters?

@WorkingFamilies if you'd be so kind to answer a common man's question: who were the good guys in the Spanish Civil War?

@WorkingFamilies if most western countries looked after their worst off decently, funded health, education, science properly,
funded infrastructure like roads and public transport properly
most would be bankrupt?

politicians: we have a deal for you...vote now for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations that dont pay tax
