one of the most senseless protests of all time, no fixed agenda or goal, no organizations, no plan going forward.
people cry about police brutality, why not go to a third world countries and actually learn what the word means. the same goes for 'poverty in US', most second or third world people simply laugh at us for claiming so, this is even factoring in PPP (if you don't know what PPP is, you shouldn't be making such claims)

What does PPP mean anyway when USA has the highest percentage of people living in poverty of ALL Western developped countries (yes worse than bankrupt Greece). More than 16% or 1 on every 6 citizens live in poverty and the number is still growing and is expected to be close to 20% in 2014-2015. Around 15 million children in USA don't know if they will get a decent meal today and you come up with something like PPP ...that's ridiculous;.

lol, I didn't come up with PPP, although I wish I did, great concept, it's Purchasing Power Parity.
just like I described, to call the people in US "living in poverty" is becoming the laughing stock of all from second and third world countries. Do you know the "definition" of poverty in the US?
learn to put things into prespective.

+1, poverty in US is considered middle class in less developed countries.
However when put into perspective the class difference in the US you can see why people would be pissed off and in apparent poverty, sure it could be worse had they lived elsewhere, but in US they consider themselves poor.
