would they survive? We don’t touch their land (still American land but loaned to the poor and that’s their country). Would they be able to establish their own cultcha?

20% of all tax revenue, make whatever you want with it. Comes with whatever current infrastructure that part of US has.

Let’s just say those receiving them food stamps from other poster thread. What if we gave them one lump sum.

No. Poor people in America are poor from bad decision making. Poverty is a symptom of stupidity. You can give millions to stupid people and they'll be right back where they started in a few months.

The common criticism is that they don’t have the money to get ahead. If bottom 13% were given 20% lump, would they be able to prove that right

Some made up “they” he has constructed. It allows him to feel like he is part of some aristocracy that is above the downtrodden.

It’s just this weird thinking that’s gonna bring about the end, you know?

We’re losing our American culture and replacing it with class and tribal culture. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, the other doesn’t like you.

You could give 100 poor people $1 million dollars and 99% of them would be broke in 6 months. The money will find it's way back into the hands of the responsbile.

No.

The vast majority of poor people are poor because they make bad decisions.

There’s always going to be poor people. Moving them won’t change.

Ask yourself if peasants from the Middle Ages think that anyone on our planet is “poor”.

It’s been proven that more money for the poor does not equal better lives for them. They’ll just buy new rims for their stupid cars or more potato chips, drugs alcohol etc

No. They’re poor because they’re below average intelligence or lazy. They’d squander everything they were given.
