Why The GOP Is Advocating A Tax Increase On The Middle Class

They will all move to China (again)

I'm not really into corporations but the thing is they are taxed twice: corporate income and the "dividends" that are distributed among stockholders

Corporations are the root of 47% of all evil.

knowing that the uneducated are the fatest in america, i wish, they would randomly identify about 1000 of these folks for a weigh in.

I have an idea. We need to implement a tax on the people in the bottom 14%. That will fix the problem!

1 out of 7 US households struggle to feed everyone

At some point last year, about 17 million U.S. households had some difficulty feeding everyone in their family.

That amounts to 14.5 percent of U.S. households, according to a report released last month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The percentage of households who experienced food insecurity in 2010 was virtually unchanged from 2009. But it has risen by about 3 percentage points since 2007, the year the country officially went into recession.

The report classifies people as food insecure if they've had trouble feeding their family at some point during the year.

A subset of that group, comprised of about 6.4 million households, were classified as having very low food security. That means that at some point during the year someone in the house went hungry.

The report found that about 16.2 million children were living in food-insecure households. Still, the report noted that children are often shielded from hunger by the adults in the home.

good on you, i didn't see that you got to this before me.

surprised these folks don't have any visible tattoos.... the folks struggling to feeds themselves always have enough money to blow on tattoos.

I can see that, what with the disproportionate rates of obesity among the poor.

and that is not the focus of this post.

but, to your point, it only means that since they seem to love the crappiest food (studies indicate) and that the crappiest has the highest calorie count, they only need a little of it to survive.... it is a win win for the poor.... money left over for a tattoo.... yea!!!

Yep. Sorry - not buying the "struggling to feed" BS. Food in America is so readily available and cheap that for all intents and purposes it's free.

You can pick up a 50lb bag of rice for $20 and a 50lb bag of potatoes for $10 and even meats on sale can be downright cheap.

Even the poorest of the poor are better fed than ever in history.
