CHILDREN IN POVERTY IN THE RICHEST NATION ON EARTH

Nov 20, 2009 - British news reports this morning "Half of children in 17 U.S. counties live in poverty." Corporate media delight in telling us the recession is over, the stock market is booming for the few who own most of the stock, and billions in bonuses are going to banksters to whom we recently guaranteed trillions of dollars in interest free loans. Our government will do whatever it can to wrench a crust of bread from the hand of a starving child so that a Wall Street bankster can market it for profit, the legacy of elections based on campaign financing from the Forces of Greed who rule. It is no accident that poverty is growing. A system which awards most of the wealth to one-fourth of one percent of the population means that millions must go homeless and hungry. As the Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hahn simplifies it, "wealth creates poverty, and poverty creates wealth."
