ABSTRACT
In the world's poorest decile, one out of twenty are Americans, many of whom are burdened with so much debt that any remnant of tangible wealth is negated. This chapter presents the 8-step process to wipe out the poor half of America: Deplete their wealth, strip away their income, take away their homes, take away their sustenance, fleece them with fines and fees, criminalize them, insult them and hope that they just go away. The above steps, whether due to greed, indifference, or disdain, are the means by which America's wealth-takers dispose of the people they don't need. Based on the evidence, the very people demeaned by the rich as "lazy" are generally the hardest workers. Almost 63 percent of America's work-eligible poor are working, and 73 percent of public support recipients are members of working families. The US is the only region in the world where the middle class does not own its equivalent share of wealth.
