The (formerly) middle-class whites of this country are being sold out by the warmongering, immigration-loving elites. Wake up, folks!
[size=3] US poverty rate continues to rise[/size] ** The number of people classed as poor in the US has increased - despite strong economic growth, say official figures. ** An extra 1.1 million Americans dropped below the poverty line last year, according to the US Census Bureau.
There were 37 million people living in poverty in 2004, up 12.7% from the previous year.
** The report said non-Hispanic whites were the only ethnic group to experience an increase in poverty as well as a drop in income.**
** Economic lag **
Asians were the only ethnic group to show a decline in poverty in 2004 compared with the previous year, while poverty among the elderly also fell.
It rose only for non-Hispanic whites, from 8.2 % in 2003 to 8.6 % over the same period. The poverty rate remained unchanged for black and Hispanics.
The last time poverty fell in the US was in 2000 when there were 31.1 million people officially classed as poor.
The rise in poverty comes despite solid economic growth in 2004, which helped to create 2.2 million jobs in the US.
"I guess what happened last year was kind of similar to what happened in the early 1990s where you had a recession that was officially over and then you had several years after that of rising poverty," said Charles Nelson, an assistant division chief at the Census Bureau.
Sheldon Danziger, co-director of the National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan, said poverty rates were still much better than in the early nineties.
"The good news is that poverty is a lot lower than it was in 1993, but we went through a hell of an economic boom," Mr Danziger said.
Poverty levels are based on the bureau's population surveys, carried out over three months, beginning in February, with about 100,000 households nationally.

Between high energy prices, sons dying in Iraq, jobs being outsourced, being passed over for affirmative action hires, and being swamped by the immigrant invasion, the white working class in this country is being absolutely crucified. If we get a housing bubble burst on top of all this, all hell just might break loose.

While some neoconservatives halfheartedly say the time for Affirmative Action has passed, racial discrimination against whites is still on the increase.

Indeed. The middle class down here in Texas is being bled dry.

But it's never enough to satisfy the illegal aliens or their enablers. :mad:
Come to think of it, our own homegrown leeches aren't too happy about the quality of the free cheese either.

[QUOTE]Between high energy prices, sons dying in Iraq, jobs being outsourced, being passed over for affirmative action hires, and being swamped by the immigrant invasion, the white working class in this country is being absolutely crucified.[/QUOTE]Too many, myself included, confound personal experience with more universal reality. Having said that, it has been my personal experience that the chief beneficiary of Affirmative Action is not the inept colored man, but rather the incompetent white woman, who invariably seems to be a manager of some sort. The corporate White female appears to be the embodiment of that quintessential Dilbert archetype, the person who is promoted to the level of her incompetence. The actual productive work is, naturally, left to the white men, along with a smattering of intelligent and industrious wogs and gooks.
Of course, if you are a government empolyee of some sort, i.e., a direct employee of ZOG, your mileage may vary. I have done "white collar" work my entire life, and do not wish to make ex cathedra pronouncements on the travails of, say, Irish and Italian cops and firefighters. They know best who the parasites are most directly benefitting from their continued dispossession.
