Patriotic American Kids Happy to Go Hungry for Tax Cuts for the Rich

This is a pretty good spurious news critique of austerity targeting at-risk populations like Americans kids who - at no fault of their own - live in poverty and do not have access to food. Where is the morality in allowing kids to go hungry while giving the wealthiest Americans tax cuts, because trickle-down economics just needs a few more decades to work? That's right, there isn't any.


Patriotic American Kids Happy to Go Hungry for Tax Cuts for the Rich

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, the results of a TNA study on American kids who lived in poverty and routinely went hungry discovered over 80% of the starving kids were happy to not be "takers" and miss entire meals so the wealthy could receive more tax cuts. The hungry children saw malnourishment as their patriotic duty, and remained cautiously optimistic that decades of tax cuts for the wealthy would soon allow money to trickle down to the poor, as well as stop austerity measures pushed by Republicans that refuse to fund wasteful programs designed to feed starving children living in poverty.
