Since so many in the entertainment industry reside in CA, how about doing a distribution of their wealth experiment. Let’s take a third to one half of THEIR income to “distribute”.

See how fast they’d all move to those second, third or fourth homes in Montana, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho and leave ol’ blue state liberals to foot the bill.

Different story, huh.

“Researchers say it is striking that most of the families that face “food insecurity” contain at least one adult with a full-time job. Obviously, those jobs offer very low wages.”

Yes, I would funnel more money from the top downward. I have no problem whatsoever with progressive income taxes, nor with higher rates at the uppermost tiers to do so. It that alone defines the left, then I suppose that’s where I am. Though to me it seems more like common sense.

Look into those charitable donations, yet? Found out why those who need it won’t better themselves, yet? Figure out WHY some choose to remain in poverty, yet? Ooh, now you’re messing with karma…
Question: When were those stats gathered? The feds are notorious for releasing two or more year old information. Did they include or exclude indian reservation statistics? Did they include those that receive welfare but report not being able to buy food because of geography? Did they include the estimated illegal population? Did the report include statistics over time or seasonal needs – ie more illegals during the picking season taking advantage of Dept of Ag. lunch and free food distribution? But more importantly:

Figured out HOW to get more money without Obama’s wealth distribution nonsense?

You just played your hand, you little left-wing minion. LOL!

Whine, whine, whine…

There are so many more factors than rich people sucking up most of the wealth.

Try working as a social worker or teacher in the lowest of low economic strata. You’ll so find out that alot of the problem is parents with criminal records or substance and alcohol abuse. They sell the food stamps, the kids’ medicine, clothing, food, anything for their habit. Also, they won’t take advantage of programs to better themselves with their eye on welfare as their “career”.

No, the wealthy are the least of the problems.

When is the last time you ever, ever looked at the charitable donations that the rich give? Never? Well, there you go.

So little lib, it’s time YOU went out and got your eyes opened.

That food figure won’t get any better when folks who want to work can’t find it. Blaming the ultra-rich is just more blame shifting from you. You are quite adept at it. It seems to be automatic with you, like you are an android.

Sorry, your point in this comment fails the logic test.

The USDA reported just this week that 49 million Americans–16% of the population–lacked dependable access to adequate food last year.

The report said that this problem affects an estimated 1 of every 5 American children.

I guess there is some comfort knowing I did what I could by voting and being active. The ball’s in your court now, and please spare me the blame shifting. My dissent is healthy and you and your party have a majority of congress and the executive. So, own your congress and president and please spare us the incessant whining, misdirection and blame shifting.

Being a congressman or senator is a full-time job. I assume most of them can read. And most of them have technical and legal staff. I assume they can also read. It’s not a stage prop, like Glenn’s bright red telephone. It’s pending legislation, that actually says things.

Get an effing clue… this isn’t about GOP this or that. This is about the DNC engineering the travesty known as the Obama Administration. This is about the DNC being just as corrupt, if not more so, than the GOP. This is about corruption trumping common sense.

We’re tired of being lied to, preached to, put down, and fleeced by both parties. We’re tired of little CA azzholes (like you) telling everyone how to live, what to eat, and how to dress when their own state is going down in flames literally and figuratively. Shut up and eff off for you happen to be part of the biggest joke in recent history. Typical Left Coast wad: “Oh boo hoo! I want my big screen TV, but everyone else has to do what I want them to!”

Obama is the face of the DNC corruption and since he’s “Mr. Healthcare Reform”, he and his party are going to own this one and he’s going to own it all the way. If it fails, so be it. The healthcare reform is only a symptom.

No one provides an explanation as to why those covered costs have increased to such a degree when the rate of inflation is officially ZERO, however.

I understand that the consumer cost of the widely-used medication Xanax is $136.79 per 100 1mg tablets, while the cost of the active ingredients comes to $0.024. The 569,958 percent mark-up might offer us a clue.

How many Clinton lovers were at the National Republic site? How many Bush lovers did you find at DailyKooks and Huffpuff sites?

Get a damn job man!

Stop the please love me and my guy fest!
