Which presidential candidates talk about the disparity between the rich and poor?

Answer 1

Who cares? They are all full of crap anyway.

Find a candidate that is new and not part of the system, then maybe I will believe what they say.

We don't need any "Robin Hood" promises to the poor to get their vote because they are all fake. Make your own money.

Answer 2

Where in the Constitution does it say the federal gvt should make sure we all make the same amount of money? Home ownership is at it's highest levels. The unemployment rate is at some of its lowest levels. Stock markets have hit record highs recently. More people are graduating college then ever. Yet we have such a crisis of class in this country. Please. If you want to solve the problem of this socalled gap then the gvt should be doing LESS not more. If people really did have to rely on their own actions and didn't know they had the gvt to catch them or support them, then maybe we wouldnt be leaning twds a society of entitlement. The gvt is not responsible for making you rich or even for making sure you have a roof over your house or food on the table. It is NOT their job. It is your own individual jobs to make sure that happens.

If you want to see poor then go visit a country where there are truly poor people that dont have the options every single american has. There will always be someone better off then you and someone worse off, but in you live in this country then you are better off then the majority of people on the planet, and yet people still expect the gvt to give them more and more. Some people are given more opportunities or more money to start off in life, and that is just how it is. You can complain and expect people to give you everything to even things out or you can use all the opportunities as americans you were born into and do something to better your life if you are unhappy with it.

What nobody in this country should be doing is turning to the federal gvt to support them. It is not the gvts job to make sure you have what you want in life.

Answer 3

John Edwards, for one.

I think his thoughts on the matter probably emanate from having to drive past the trailer park across the street from his 30,000 sq. ft. mansion.

- It's hard for him to overlook the disparity though his comments about doing and giving everything he has to help the poor obviously don't apply to his neighbors.

Hillary? Same boat. She 'talks' about it but at the end of the day, all she's shown is her tendency to take and take and take - even what doesn't belong to her.

Answer 4

some of the democrats do, but they mainly keep it at this abstract level, rather than concrete effects on people. (dennis kucinich, I think, has been the only one to break this. He seems pretty straightforward, but then, he's from the poorest city in the country, Cleveland.) If we admit that poverty is a problem, we admit that our system doesn't work. And if we admit that, all the right people will lose money... Corporate profits run this country, and they are a large factor in poverty. Thus, it's all lipservice.

Answer 5

Edwards talks about it the most, I think. He just doesn't seem that in order to bridge that gap, he needs to have less money. Everyone can'tbe a rich trial lawyer. The people that live in the trailer park across the street from his mansion will tell you that.

Answer 6

I mostly here that from John "The Breck Girl" Edwards who is a multimillionaire & lives an extremely opulant lifestyle.

Answer 7

They all talk about it, but talk is cheap.

The candidate who seems to be the most concerned with the issue is John Edwards. According to his compaign, out of 5 key issues, # 3 is "Poverty reduction", #2 is "Affordable Health Care" and #4 is "Streinghtening Middle Class".

Answer 8

Hillary Clinton and John Edwards talk about it a lot.

Answer 9

Hillary clinton

Answer 10

Probably the party that destroyed the middle. Or will.
