More than half of millennials have less than $1,000 I'd be curious to know how many of them have a TV and smart phone. I have neither even though I could easily afford both.

This is to get people to self-attack.

Pew also found that Muslim immigrants prefer more government services and that 70 percent lean Democratic.

It's intended to penalize savers. It imposes a fee for having a balance in the bank. My guess is that it will only apply to balances over a certain amount. It's supposed to force banks to make loans and to encourage people to spend. Politicians incorrectly believe that spending drives economic growth.

Mainstream media in the US overwhelmingly identifies with left-liberal, progressive Democrats. A large portion of the Democratic constituency consists of ignorant, uneducated, and improverished people (both domestic and immigrant) with a minimal skillset (eg. rote, manual labor). Blacks tend to vote Democratic about 90% of the time.

What does hiring a hitman to murder somebody have to do with capitalism? Also, what do parking tickets have to do with capitalism?

A capitalist is somebody who procures, organizes, and transforms resources to create higher-order goods (aka capital goods) in order to produce lower-order goods (aka consumption goods). A loom is an example of a capital good. Clothing is an example of a consumption good. This definition doesn't just apply to business people; it also applies to individuals.

Donald Trump on terrorists: 'Take out their families'

These statements aren't mutually exclusive, and I agree with what you said. People are often harassed, threatened, and abused for asking questions; particularly in religious families.

Why people think total nonsense is really deep Far too many people are credulous and feeble-minded. They're never taught to think critically, skeptically, and analytically.

Other examples would include William Kristol, Newt Gingrich, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain.

In contemporary vernacular, neocons tend to be jingoistic nationalists who support protectionism, moral crusades (eg. war on drugs), and interventionist foreign-policy. Examples in mainstream media include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.

The poverty rate was trending downward before Lyndon Johnson's 'Great Society,' and has remained relatively unchanged since then (for 50 years).

It's certainly commendable that you help disadvantaged people. The purpose of the article isn't to criticize people who help others; it's to point out that government welfare doesn't solve the problem. Simply throwing money at poverty doesn't work for several reasons. The inherent inefficiency of government bureaucracies and perverted incentives notwithstanding, welfare doesn't solve poverty because it merely feeds day-to-day consumption only, rather than addressing the root cause. The saddest thing you wrote was that you've observed 20 year olds coming in with toddlers. That's disgraceful. In past generations, that sort of behavior was negatively stigmatized and people were forced to rely on the generosity of family and friends. The shame and embarassment imposed a cost which encouraged people to refrain from irresponsible behavior. Today's welfare-state makes single mothers commonplace. It's common to see poor single mothers with a brood of 3 to 5 kids living in squalor. Of course, the primary cause of this is the government through a combination of barriers to entry into the workplace, and welfare which rewards people for being lazy, irresponsible, and imprudent. It's burning a candle from both ends.

The "evolution violates the 2nd law" is one of those canards that has been floating around the Internet for years and has been thoroughly debunked. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics applies to closed systems. The Earth isn't a closed system. Nothing makes it special.

At least tens of thousands if you just count politicians.
