Rich Country/Poor Citizens: Authors Matthew Desmond and Andre Dubus on American poverty

[@lexa_power]

Fantastic watch, I thoroughly enjoyed both books and wish that others in this capitalistic society had empathy for others.

Matt Desmond is spot on. Take a look around yourself, and you’ll see he’s right. His message is a threat to the powers at bay and will be squashed. Sad…

It is shocking that such a video as this hardly attracts any attention neither is it recommended by KZbin.

Mathew never told us exactly how poverty benefits anybody else. Who is warming their hands at the burning house? To use his metaphor? And how does a life destroyed create a profit for that unfeeling greedy hand-warmer? Seems that you can't sell goods and services to people without money. I'm all for hitting the rich for more taxes, but one needs to understand that there are LOTS of factors that keep people poor other than bad luck. This all seems like zero-sum economics. Maybe a better moderator could have allowed him to make a more complete case.

TRUMP must pay his taxes

And if he's been getting away with ripping off the tax system so blatantly for so long, imagine what other rich people are getting away with.
