"In many corners of America, a pricey mortgage doesn't just buy a home; it also buys a good education, a well-run soccer league, and public safety so thick & expected it appears natural, instead of the product of social design." #PovertyByAmerica #MatthewDesmond

I wish #MatthewDesmond would write an opinion piece in the NYT rebutting RFK Jr, Oz, Rollins, and Turner. Somebody must encourage him to do that. I bet he could tear their arguments to shreds.

Just two of my favorite activists talkin bout what drives me. #PovertyAbolition wasn't in my vocab back then, but the temporary alleviation of my own poverty and #PovertyByAmerica put me on the road to education and the fight to end poverty for all. #MatthewDesmond #JonStewart

I so 💖 #MatthewDesmond! And here in WA State - the lower 40% are paying more taxes than our 4000+ multi-millionaires (50 million+ wealthiest). youtu.be/KoLN0YoErK0?...

My job at Crisis Connections was the best job I’ve ever had.
The only downside is that a lot resources for veterans are not used because their community is unhoused. Deployment teams are essential.

Poverty Isn’t a Line 🔸
The poor have names and stories.

If you take everyone below the poverty line and lift them above it, that's about $177 billion per year...if the top 1% just paid all the taxes they owed, we would net about $175 billion per year
WTF?!

You get the impression that #poverty is made and continued by design in the #USA. And there is almost no incentive for the #billionaires to end poverty at all, although they could very easily […]

I saw #matthewdesmond on @thedailyshow.com last night & I really appreciated it #povertyabolition .
The new metric we need is similar to what Bhutan has, the Happiness Index - we cld have a Gross Care Index, which can encompass health & wellbeing - poverty being a huge aspect of early deaths

Princeton sociologist #MatthewDesmond had a fantastic interview on #TheDailyShow— a practical, sane discussion about how we can turn around the lives of the 99% and bring back hope for everyone. His book is a must-read: #PovertyByAmerica.

He has some interesting, potentially viable ideas that IMO are worth exploring. The current SocioPotus wouldn’t go for them, but anyone with common sense would.

#MatthewDesmond noted in his book #Poverty,ByAmerica that if the top wealthiest 1% JUST PAID WHAT THEY OWE, that would generate $175B.
And really, not like the wealthy would even notice. It’s pure greed and a sick game that hurts working class, sick, disabled, elderly, veterans…
