Remember this day those who have nothing, and those who want them to stay that way. To the former we give and from the latter we take.

Poverty in America:

In 2007, 37.5 million people were impoverished.

12.5% of the population and 9.8% of families

20.3 million or 10.9% of people aged 18 - 64

13.3 million or 18% of children under age 18, and

3.7 million or 9.7% of seniors aged 65 or older who benefit from Social Security and Medicare.

Also:

36.2 million Americans are food insecure, including 12.4 million children. They comprise 13 million or 11.1% of households.

4.7 million households experience “very low food security” meaning hunger is a persistent problem.

Households with children have double the food insecurity as ones with none.

Single women-headed households are worst off with 30.2% of them insecure. (Numbers courtesy of Stephen Lendman)

That is the crime.

This is the Criminal.
