"The report states, “The policies pursued over the past year seem
deliberately designed to remove basic protections from the poorest,
punish those who are not in employment and make even basic health care
into a privilege to be earned rather than a right of citizenship.”
The report details how 40 million Americans live in poverty and 18.5
million Americans live in extreme poverty. It also details how the
United States has the highest rate of income inequality among Western
countries and one of the lowest rates of intergenerational social mobility."
