  • why do u even bother asking the republicans about this ?? All they care about is building walls in the south border, keeping homosexuals out of the armed forces, and governing for the upper-middle and upper classes.

  • CNN would never post such a question. Nor ask the Republicans about the poor in THIS country. You can't get answers from people who don't seek them, or want to,.

  • @megarational hehe obviously I was joking...I'm not a commie I live in the UK and I get pissed off when they say that if ur annual income is over 150 000 u have to pay 50% tax...the government now are trying to lock up those gaps you spoke about but another problem are the labor who claim to have been diseased and get massive benefits apart from having their little businesses...so yeah don't get pissed off on youtube comments :D

  • @RottweilerForce Horseshit. The answer is

    - a progressive income tax system

    - close tax loopholes that only the rich can take advantage of

    - reintroduce inheritance tax on the largest financial dynasties

    - increase capital gains tax

    - once again include dividends as part of taxable income

  • Some people have so much and others so little. My friend Jesse is currently homeless and as winter approaches I worry greatly about him! He is poor as can be. It doesn't hit home until you see your best friend on the streets. This is his channel and I am trying to rally support for him to let him know that there are people out there who do care about him. I just don't know what to do to help him and it breaks my heart.

  • What can we do to close the gap between rich and poor...and the answer is- COMMUNISM !! :D

  • @Jarut195 mm, I guess... but along with being poor, another reason that stunts the growth of crops/food in many places is just bad climate/soil/droughts so that's why I was a little confused. Thanks!

  • @Bobalithmiss1 they die from starvation because they can't afford food. Get it?

  • the boy is uber-cute =)) I'd make out with'em :) meeeeow =)) ...

    make capitalism history.

  • I'm going to make sure I don't have too many kids and provide them with the education and resources to make good lives for themselves, so that I am not creating any dependency or poverty.

  • please die

  • Actually it hasn't done too badly. Certainly it has done better than capitalism as applied to the third world.
