Matthew Desmond - “Poverty, by America” & What It Takes to Close the Poverty Gap | The Daily Show
“Investing in American people and stabilizing communities that need it the most is the best way for all of us.” Sociologist at Princeton University and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Evicted,” Matthew Desmond sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his latest book, “Poverty, by America.” They talk about America’s welfare state, how society benefits from poverty, the opportunity to close the poverty gap if the top one percent paid their taxes, and empowering the poor with better choices like building worker power, and expanding housing choice. They also highlight how Democrats need to get more serious about economic justice to fully commit to poverty abolitionism. #DailyShow #Poverty #America #Welfare Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

“I don’t think we have to live with all this poverty in America,” our founder Matthew Desmond told Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/KoLN0YoErK0
“The poorest families receive an average of $26,000 a year from the government whereas the top richest families get $36,000 a year from the government. Collecting unpaid federal income taxes from the top 1% of households would bring in some $175 billion a year.” - Matthew Desmond

We could effectively ELIMINATE POVERTY if only the top 1% wealthiest Americans just paid the taxes they already owed! In his book, Poverty, By America by Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, holds a mirror up to the nation to reveal our backwards priorities. #Booksky #Progressive

I still prefer #UBI, but this is very informative and suggestive for the Democrats. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoLN...
Recomendo este vídeo sobre a pobreza e e desigualdade nos EUA. É chocante:
Unbelievable
This interview is incredibly relevant to news in Aotearoa today. The return on investment of food stamps vs tax cuts alone is a compelling argument for a bigger investment in lifting people out of poverty. There is a better way. We don't have to keep punching down. youtu.be/KoLN0YoErK0?...
I guess I gotta buy this guys book. This was a great segment and crystal clear in its message: when you help people in society and give back, so to speak, with programs and benefits for low- & middle-income individuals and families, everyone benefits. youtu.be/KoLN0YoErK0?...
I read this book this year. I recommend it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoLN...
