Also a big fan of Rep Bowman....thanks for having him on as well. Thank you for all you do Rev Barber and Rep Bowman... keep up the good work!
Bowman and Barber are the real deal... thanks again for having them on and covering the topic of poverty and it's psychological affects on people... it's a huge, huge issue... and I totally agree with everything they both said.
Especially offended by Amazon ads. My final Amazon purchase was two decades ago.
Why should my comments be any less repetitious than the google's offensive and unstoppable ads?
Only one question for TH-cam:
Does anyone really think more frequent and more offensive ads can lead to profit?
Rev. Barber is a national treasure.
He is fantastic!
That's so weird, I was just thinking about him earlier today... thanks for having him on. I am a huge fan of Reverend Barber....
Perhaps you're clairvoyant or just connected to the light in this world 👍
🙏🙏 thank you Rev. Barber.
What wasn't mentioned is the huge physical health hit of such chronic stress.
We don't see enough of Reverend Barber. Thank you for bringing him back.
If you pay people a living wage, they don't need the government programs to live.
God bless you Reverend! Thank you for having him on Alicia 👍👍
Reverend William Barber is a beautiful man who bravely speaks the truth.
A lot of seniors do too since drugs and medical care are so expensive.
Why don't we ever hear Republicans expressing concern about how the McDonald's CEO's 18-million-dollar salary drives up the price of a Big Mac?
They are still waiting for the trickle down...
Yes! Eliminate poverty, give people options, they won't be forced to steal out of pure necessity!
They steal because they are thieves
Raise wages prices will raise get real this is pie in the sky crap
Two wonderful men..
Do you know that some of the Southern States still have a Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour?
@@sandtrapwarrior how can someone afford to get education or training while raising a family on minimum wage?
@@sandtrapwarrior sit down then since you've offered zero to the conversation

@@roberthollingsworth8940: There are TONS of government programs to help low income people go to community college and/or trade schools.
That's what it is in Indiana as well. It's absurd. Well, it might have gone up to like $7.68... but I know for a fact that it is less than $8 an hour. It's crazy for sure.
Democrats need to reinstate the Food program.
Rep. Bowman and Rev. Barber! Speaking truth all day long!
I agree fully and completely. An individual, let alone a family cannot live a decent life on minimum wage. And politicians are looking for ways to deny people and families benefits, but they get theirs.
Chronic stress in children also leads to life-span health issues - look at the ACEs study. The individual and intergenerational trauma affect individuals, families and communities. If you don't raise healthy children, you can't have optimally healthy adults, families or communities.
Reverend Barber and Representative Bowman are exceptional men! Bravo for your excellent service! Thank you! 👏❣
Nice to see Rev. only last week I was thinking about him.
nothing but facts, love this guy
The only way to get these politicians attention is to take away their permanent privileges.
One TERM Congress==
= WELFARE for LIFE!!!
USA REVERSE Welfare State
Moral Issues in Bk of AMOS
Dispicable to Exploit the Poor!
Absolutely!!
Thank you for having Rev Barber on! He is a truly inspirational American hero!!
Everyone should join/support poor peoples campaign! They are standing up for average & lower income americans.
You are so right Alicia! about the 'psychological' cost! I Worry about now losing my SS after 8 years on it! Losing my Housing Voucher, my food stamps; bottom line, i no longer wake up caring if i live thru another day, or not! I'd sure rather die sooner than EVER having to exist on the streets!
Do you know that University Tuition's are FREE in most West European countries?
Do you know Tennessee residents banned drag queen book reading for children?( and Democrats are furious).
We spend our money on weapons to defend other countries. They live better than we do in Europe. Bull with that. We are not an Empire. Heck with religious wars, etc. Ukraine wars against each other are endless. Like Israel. No wars against Iran either. Let the Pope and Israelis pay for their own oppression. I want the Catholic church banned in AMERICA for forcing their religious agenda on American women. Remove all federal tax exemption and private school monies. Ban their dark money organizations.
Did you know that low-income people in America can go to community college at virtually no cost to themselves? And State universities have many programs to alleviate the costs for low-income individuals.
I pay 50% of my social security and a very small pension for AFFORDABLE housing. It's unaffordable! We fight for a minimum wage of $15/hour but with the costs of energy and food, not to mention health care and other expenses, $15/hour is nolonger a living wage and still some think that's too much. I just do not understand the cruelty that is so commonplace in this country.
The callousness that grows and thrives in our society is shameful. People pray but do absolutely nothing to make this a moral society that cares for human life. If you have enough conscience to pray for a better life for our people then your have enough to actually do something about conditions that tug at your heart. Join a social justice organization. Work for change, be the change you want. Get off the sofa!
Rev Barber runs "poor peoples campaign " its an excellent movement of low wage workers in several states that seems to get little media attn
@@MsTMarie83 I know. I think he's an amazing person.
Ty Dr. BARBER!!
The Ruling Class is fine with people dying from poverty and lack of health care. Doesn't bother them a bit.
Their concern is maintaining and growing their own wealth, status and power. That's easy for them to do because they can buy as many legislators and officials they need to make sure that laws and regulations are tailored to keep our Rulers comfortable and safe from the riffraff (that's usn's).
Too bad most of We The People can't seem to figure that out.
Ain't that the HOLE in my TOOTH!!
rev. barber should run for governor of his state and take on the radical republicans.
Hey, that’s my favorite Tupac lyric, too. He wrote it in the early 90s and it’s still true.
We can give big businesses and the rich tax cuts but we can't feed our kids, anybody see anything wrong with this? 🤬
I do
Reverend Barber is always so clear about how screwed up all this chit is! For me personally, as of March 11, i will no longer be any better off than i was under dt! Because my xtra federal aid for food stamps has now ended! And not getting Expanded Medicare in that BBB, means that i've been living with a hole in my tooth for 2 years, which is also deteriorating into sharp edges that are cutting into my tongue every day! I was sooooo hoping that would pass! All i got was 1K per YEAR! & that won't get them to do near what i need, because of an exposed nerve, so a regular filling isn't viable!
The Brett Favre scandal. Real people in real time.2020 -2023 now. R.I.P Tupac Shakur. However we need American Voters in the presences. Voters has the ability to make changes.
Biden doesn't care
Who rlly believes that Manchin & Sinema are Democrats tho?
Rev g andrew goosdy Said you speaking the truth bro
It's not just kids hungry it's grandma too but Biden has helped get S.S. raised he's had programs for children and lunches now we need to get these father's in court and get that alimony and child support going. We have to have programs to help keep all eating and in housing. Minimum wages in black neighborhoods fall below standards and those wages have to be raised. We have a big problem with big corp gouging prices we need them stopped. Landlords are gouging we need them stopped. The times we live in is a greedy time look how they gouged eggs Thier gouging meat too and vegetables on top of gouging they are heavily packaging products to get more money they hide quantities under labels to rip you off we've got to come down on big corp or we simply can't afford to live and when that happens the people will rise in discust and anger on Thier government that betrayed them.
Summed up, GREED is the problem. Maybe some of these evangelical preachers need to lay off the politics and actually start spreading the word of Jesus!
Az. One bdrm apt runs btw $1200-1500 monthly!! Pay that on $7 an hour.
Brave brother 02
Amen
Correct! That's why I'm turning my back on anyone against social reform ending poverty no matter what party or church. Churches who vote Republican to end abortion don't vote in law Child Credit to feed them. children. Disgraceful 😞
Nooooooooooooooo really?
I thought is was "we follows orders or people die"
The Ghost of Slavery.
They are aware that people die. It is a type of genocide, and that is my opinion.
Amen.
We’ve got the most bankrupt country on earth.i thought Barry had 8 years the fix these problems 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Those *uckin' people can work with you then."
This man is no man of God he's an activist for the world just like al sharton or Jesse Jackson and many others.
Alive soldier 73
If you are going to talk politics don't use your religious title Reverend. We listen to your concern but care less about your religious title.
It’s his religious title.
Nurses can’t talk politics?
Medical doctors can’t talk politics?
If you have any other title or degree you can’t talk politics?
LoL
Check this out this is what I just came up with .
My name is President Meeks and politics is the game . We got money for War but can’t feed the Poor . We got money for the PO PO but can’t help the poor .
Pls help this man with a different and better camera angle. Hes always on a shreck stance in his video call ins.
Once you live in a highly regulated Democrat run city or state, The government needs to raise wages so they can take a bigger cut from the people to offset the government constantly raising costs of living due to bad policies.
That's the truth.
Yeah - bad policies. That's why they tend to have lower poverty and crime and better standards of living than GOP run cities and states. Here's a hint for you Buckwheat - the counties that voted for Biden produce 71% of US GDP.
No woman should have 6 children unless her and her husband are financially responsible.
What should we do or is there anything we can do?
So truth about this one
They die I tell you… they die!
As a wyt birthing person, I've completed my transition to a non binary POC and I couldn't be happier. 🤎🤎
