I am not a liberal and subscribe to none of their polices. So you can poke that voodoo doll all you like and it will not change the fact they you did not address the point. Do you always pay this much attention? I just described the source of endless babbling between the stooges on the right and left as they bicker without the established premise of what is poverty and financial poverty. But by all means keep loving yourself.
You think you offer insight being against the welfare state? gee that's hard to figure out.
Poverty vs. financial poverty? What the heck is the difference?
Kinda reminds me of all the Southern claims how the slaves were so much better off on the plantations, because they were fed every day, taken care of, had a roof over their heads, etc!
Or like Barbara Bush's comments about all the Katrina refugees packed cheek-to-jowl in the Astrodome, "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them!"
While the liberals "help" the poor by sending them a check each month, doing nothing but enabling them to exist in a permanent state of poverty. Then say that Republicans "hate" the poor for wanting them to get skills and jobs and become upwardly mobile.
A financial instrument that represents: an ownership position in a publicly-traded corporation (stock), a creditor relationship with governmental body or a corporation (bond), or rights to ownership as represented by an option. A security is a fungible, negotiable financial instrument that represents some type of financial value. The company or entity that issues the security is known as the issuer.
For example, the issuer of a bond issue may be a municipal government raising funds for a particular project. Investors of securities may be retail investors - those who buy and sell securities on their own behalf and not for an organization - and wholesale investors - financial institutions acting on behalf of clients or acting on their own account. Institutional investors include investment banks, pension funds, managed funds and insuran
North America is full of assets. If the banking records were destroyed there would be no record of ownership which is the liability side of the asset to secure it. There would be no financial wealth. Its really a debt instrument.
If I had in my possession 1 lb of rhodium I would have no financial wealth. I would have an asset in my personal possession. I would be wealthy. The poor in the West have a degree of material wealth.
Out of curiosity, is a person that makes $10.00/hr. for 40 hours a week, and pays half of their salary on rent alone considered to be poor? I know several people that live in Houston right now that are living that very life and are told that they either make too much for assistance or are given very little, like one woman I know, for example, works for $11.00/hr and is a single mother. She was offered $40/mo. food stamps.
Is barely scraping by, having utilities getting shut off, and sometimes not eating considered to be anything other than poor?
Or is the definition "Something that has absolutely NOTHING."
I don't think you know what wealth means. If you are getting poorer, then wealth is not being transferred to you. Likewise, if you are getting rich, wealth is not being transferred out of you.
And your message illustrates my point. The entire concept is a word game, not reality. The problem here isn't my understanding of wealth, it's your acceptance of the "rich getting richer, poor getting poorer" phrase.
Also, "if you are getting rich, wealth is not being transferred out of you" is wrong. If you gain $2, and someone takes $1, then you have still gained $1 and $1 has still been transferred away. It is gross versus net, revenue vs profit.

Out of curiosity, who pays for the poor to get the skills to obtain a job and become upwardly mobile?

A little. Only my home. It's not my primary means of wealth.
Then that transfered wealth to us both.
Where is your wealth? Benny transfered some to my stocks.
