1. Deplete Their Wealth 
Recent analysis has determined that half of America is in or near poverty.
2. Strip Away Their Income 
Earnings due to workers for their years of productivity have been withheld by people in power. Based on inflation, the minimum wage should be nearly  three times its current level. An investor report from J.P. Morgan  noted a direct correlation between record profits and cutbacks in wages. 
3. Take Away Their Homes 
study by the National Low Income Housing Coalition concluded that an average American renter would need to earn $18.92 per hour -- well over twice the minimum wage -- to afford a two-bedroom apartment.
6. Most Insidious: Let Their Children Suffer 
The U.S. has one of the highest relative  child poverty rates in the developed world.
