Tough Capitalist Love for One in Five Children

"the fact that the distribution of resources in the wealthiest nation in the world entertains poverty at this level is evidence of the failure of our social-economic order,"  DonJon.

Chelsea Hotel (MP) - The United States Census Bureau reported that Forty-four million people in the United States, or one in seven residents, lived in poverty in 2009, an increase of 4 million from the year before.  The poverty rate climbed to 14.3 percent — the highest level since 1994 — from 13.2 percent in 2008. The rise was steepest for children, with one in five residents under 18 living below the official poverty line.

A concerned Plutocracy confirmed their commitment to their Tough Capitalist Love Program in rearing the children of the masses.  Ken "Sticky Fingers" Lewis, Chairman of the Masters of the Universe Counsel on Keeping Yours Ours Unendingly, known as MUCK YOU, stated "the tough capitalist love approach is vital to raising children dedicated to the well being of the Plutocracy.  One in five children are learning that a healthy and prosperous life is dependent on a vital respect for the imbalance of wealth," further stated Lewis.

For a single adult in 2009, the poverty line was $10,830 in pretax cash income; for a family of four, $22,050.  "Poverty is a choice, personal responsibility requires they pull themselves up by their rotted bootstraps.  They must learn that to get a greater share of the economy they will have to repress and steal from others, hoard public resources, and buy off politicians.  Our Tough Capitalist Love Program is teaching slow learners the hard lessons of American life."

The number of residents without health insurance in 2009 climbed to 51 million, from 46 million in 2008. The share of children who were uninsured fell, though, reflecting an expansion of government health programs covering low-income children.  MUCK YOU confirmed their disappointment that those enrolled in the Tough Capitalist Love program were getting subsidized health care.  "We are spoiling our young people when health care is given to them with no profit," states Lewis, "our program works best when malnutrition is combined with a healthy dose of disease."

In a statement released by DonJonVonavich, Eccentric Publisher of the Pamphlet, he stated, "the fact that the distribution of resources in the wealthiest nation in the world entertains poverty at this level is evidence of the failure of our social-economic order."
