and when you are violating the rights of the poor, you're not making the poor better off, you're making them worse off. the farmers did not want to move from their lands. the fact that they had to be moved at gunpoint shows they actually felt worse off by being moved, rather than better off. and so gates, i guess he feels like he needs to praise the leader to operate in ethiopia, but he unintentionally winds up praising, justifying, helping justify the financing of a guy who is making his own poor people worse off, not better off. >> host: so, professor easterly, how does that tie into aid given through usaud or through the gates foundation? >> guest: well, to continue with ethiopia for a moment, ethiopia is one of the largest recipients of world bank aid, gates foundation aid. aid keeps him in power while he was alive, keeps his autocratic successors in power. he actually used the aid to keep himself in power because at one point aid that was designated for famine victims was given only to people who could prove they were ruling party supporters and was kept away from anyone who was no

black and poor and white. i did not get hassled by the cops as much as my black friends. that is how we do policing in america. we know that they are targeting folks, they are saying you are not worth being on our streets. we would rather warehouse you would pay for you that way. but the example i like to use because it is clearest is homelessness. it is illegal to sleep, to, to do anything if you are homeless. they criminalized it entirely. here is how it affects everybody. so you get drunk at a bar, you have one too many. tommy you haven't done that at least once. i'm not talking stumbling drunk. you should drive home. but there are no cabs because you're not in a big, big city and it's too far to walk. but you think you can get yourself there. if you walk on your publicly intoxicated. if you choose to drive him come you are driving strong. if you sleep in your car, your sleeping in public. there is no good option for you to get home if you have one too many in a bar because we have criminalized all of these

you don't know you're poor when you're poor. when i go back and look at it, it was an alley, dirt streets, no bathroom, no running water, no electricity, and it had no refrigerator, it was the kind that you put the ice where the iceman delivered. i didn't know we were poor until we moved to l.a. i didn't know a word of english, but i grew up in south l.a., and it was interesting that my my culture assimilation, the music and i'm walking to school, but also the neighbors across the street, southerners, i didn't know they were southerners, the young black guy was raising pigeons, i was fascinated by all of that. my mom didn't speak english, so you've got a rural family from mexico, from the country and you have blacks from the south in the same block, chicanos and blacks. the older whites were already moving out. and i grew one the cholos. but you goes, right -- vpachuko pachukos, right? and they treated me ok. so i went to school in a chicano-black community. i so i thought it was normal. but some of the first things i saw on the

. >> we're not just called to have a heart for the poor, we're supposed to have a mind for the poor.> many people's minds say spread the wealth. >> i think we should share more. >> increase the minimum wage. >> three-dollar increase can make a living wage. it makes a living wage. it makes a living wage. >> what should america do about poverty? that's our show tonight. >> and now, john stossel. >> in this rich country lots of people are poor. so what should we do about that? spread the wealth, that's the democrat's plan. some americans are plenty rich. we can just tax more and spend the money on the poor. fifty years ago president johnson said america will end poverty by doing that. >> this administration today here and now declares unconditional war on poverty in america. [applauding] >> he expanded social security to include more people. expanded the food stamp program. created the job core and more. and look how it's reduced poverty. in the first sten years of the war on poverty, the poverty rate dropped from 17 percent to 12 percent. that's great success. but wait a second. look a

living in you do not know when you're poor when you are poor. now when i think back on it. no running water, gas, amateur city. or at least no refrigerator. we have the kind the iceman delivered. we were poor and did not know until we were and out eight. -- neighbors across the street, southerners. had no idea. i was fascinated by all of it. my parents did not speak english. you had a rural family from mexico, and you had lakhs from the south in the same block. chicanos and blacks free of the older whites had already started moving out. i lived with the -- they treated me ok. stadium, there was -- i said how are they doing that to the mexicans, they were picking them up and throwing them out, they were evicting them to build the stadium. it was not watch, but close enough. -- watts, but close enough. but i grew up in south l.a., florence area, walking into the neighborhood, which was still white, southeast l.a. huntington park, to see the movies, right, and seeing a sign, apartment for rent, whites only. so you're a little chicano, you're a mexican becoming chicano, you're

poor people are assets. they're assets that are under tapped. they're sort of dead capital that we can, we have to enliven. this is part of your definition of human dignity. whether in india, or the united states, to the extent a society treats poor people like liabilities it won't raise dignity. to the extent we treat them as assets to society, we're going to liven their capital and that will also give them earned success and dignity. is this your approach? >> do you think you could join my team and become my communications director? that was so good. >> this is revolutionary. >> so let me give you an example also about when you say what is the third way. i'm sorry. so we'll build latrines. what do you do with the waste? the latrines are dirty, dangerous and who would want to o there? so people defecate on paper and throw it. so it's out there for ve. from a market perspective, charity perspective, forget what perspective, from a solution perspective based on dignity. they say, all right. first we have a design issue and can we create a toilet

all right james poore. good morning, mr. poore.ou are represented by cathy frye, is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> unlike cedric whose public defender is likely to be carrying a heavy case load and have limited resources, james poore has hired a private defense attorney. >> miss frye has been in this morning. not guilty plea entered on your behalf. good luck. >> thank you. >> after the arraignment, the two brothers try to talk. but an officer notices the exchange and separates them. >> did that go the way you thought? >> oh, no. i didn't know nothing about no attorney. how is his court process moving quicker than mine. >> you tried to talk after you were arraigned. what were you trying to say to him? >> how did you get an attorney? how were you able to afford an attorney. i know i'm scrambling to try to get an attorney myself. >> you gonna be cool? >> i don't know if i'm going to be cool or not. >> it never hurts to shed a tear especially when you're a man of deep feelings. >> catch up, catch up, catch up. >> on the advice of his ne

poor. then you see this wave of or people from europe and they begin to fill things that we now call slums. people arey these artificially jacking up the poverty rate in america, a direct threat to our way of being. in 1850's.n new york 60% of the people who end up in poor houses are born in ireland. way disproportionate to their percentage in the population. you also probably noticed on --s teeter tottering boat we are literally importing, intoely importing poverty this republic. and here is an expression. america does not do poverty. we as a people, americans, are intolerant of ragged garments and empty ponchos. we are a people who have had no experience in physical tribulation. as a consequence, the ill clad and destitute irishman is repulsive to our habits and our taste. associate ill clothing and destitution with ignorance and vice. here is one of the images that you have in front of you. this is a classic image of the irish, both male and female. the -- we can assume they are poor bec

and you have this conversation like, "there's a lot of poor people who live right outside of here, and we're talking about protecting the animals." >> yeah. right, that was a great moment, you know? and he's an old friend of mine. and his whole... his philosophy was there was a lot of organizations that were thinking about human needs, why not have one organization thinking about animal needs. i come at it from a little bit different perspective. you know, when people say to me, "look, how can i think about the forest or the tigers in india when there's, you know, millions of people who are starving?" i say that's true, but the tradeoff is not real. it's a false tradeoff. it's a false dichodomy that people are setting up for you. if you said to me, "poverty in india would disappear, but we'd have to get rid of the tigers," it might be a tradeoff that i might be willing to consider, and a lot of people would be willing to consider it. the truth of the matter is, if the last 2,000 tigers that are left in india today disappear, all you'd be left behind is poor people in india and no tiger

like you said, is this truly serving the poor? never too, is this an idea that matters, can we actually change their lives? number three, who is this onto per newer? entrepreneur -- who is this entrepreneur? did have the ethical fiber that will do this job in a way that will not be corrupt? do they have the determination and grit to do what they know? and then the last are really around the business model. do we see a business model that will move to profitability and we are not spending 10 years if your endgame is 10,000 people? will it actually reach one million people or more? >> this is the exact strategy that you would use as a regular entrepreneur. >> we just need onto per newer's -- onto per newer -- e ntrepreneurs to have grit. we want engineers to come in create a water system, but they have never spent any time in a village. that probably is not going to work. >> give me an example of a terrific idea that would be unworkable. [laughter] i just want to make sure i don't do this. [laughter] >> well, probably our first big

>> they are poor, among the very poorest of american children. i left cincinnati in 2,009, came back to north carolina to found my nonprofit, but as i was later to learn, cincinnati in 2010 became the third worst city in the united states for child poverty in urban areas, third to detroit and cleveland, so one of the poorest cities in the us. part of that was appalachian poverty. all of these girls were poor many of them had moms who were -- had some drug issues the drug problem tends to be centered around the abuse of prescription painkillers like oxycontin. i i found out that many of my young students, eight, nine, ten, ten years old had moms who were doing drugs which was a common factor. >> how did that affect there outlook on life, their dreams? >> for many of these girls what i was to discover, they were essentially orphans to oxycontin and american poverty. so i was there teacher. our class became a family and they became like sisters yes, i was a teacher but it became like family, very intimate. at one time two of the girls , and one of t

and very poor in the current years the scale being used is accelerant good and poor there was a strong feeling prior to them chang that by using the noticeable scale there are 3 ratings that tend to be negative and so it was not considered a balanced scale that was the rational for changing but it is my understanding that's the reason it was changed. >> thank you okay. looking at that same question but focusing on the 2014 finding so in this chart you see the rating scale overall satisfaction is the same number in the previous scale and the fair and poor ratings there as well a couple of things to take away 64 percent is a good rating there's a trending upped wards but the other thing when our looking at satisfaction we do a lot of satisfaction rating for m t c and bart and others you want to push those numbers into the top level category you see the 50 percent being good and 4 percent excellent push folks into the excellent i'll say the 14 percent it's tougher to move the poor ratings up those ratings in the middle you can move to get a higher rating okay again looking at that same ov

chicano activists in their teens and 20's, and the age is in the poor people's g, it forcedwed youn

it was difficult the cause we were poor and did not have skills. it was doubled upon as because we were demonstrated -- we were discriminated against. they shut us out of lucrative jobs. irishmeny, yeah, when showed up at factories, they saw the "no irish need apply" sign. they saw it at coal mines and waterfronts. a lot of historical research has been done which historians have been looking for the evidence of what we do. we cannot just take tradition and accept it at face value per at what has happened is there's very little evidence of that sort that exists. there are no signs. there are a fake vintage signs people have that were printed in the 20th century, almost like novelties. so irish men, at least as far as face -- atnd not to least these kinds, not to say they were not discriminated against. so who bears the brunt of "no irish need apply"? it was a repeated phrase. it is in classified ads for irish women, irish domestic servants or domestic servants. in which they say "no irish need apply." you see this idea embodied in this image in fron

you cannot target poor people. this is not acceptable.ctive rights are something we have been complaining for. so there is no way such poll lags can be targeted. people have large familiar list when they are not well off, because they want more children for making more income for the family. so there is a kind of relationship. so and thirdly also i would say that this kind of a sterilization where mindless activity goes on without any hygenic condition, without proper medical care, or without any kind of follow up with these women, they are sterilized and sent home with just some painkillers. many women have lost their lives and many are in critical condition in hospital, nobody is -- and also the head minister has to take accountability. we are asking him to resign because he has to take responsibility for such policy. >>> amnesty international has held an event calling for the release of al jazeera's journalists in this egypt. peter greste parents and others joins the campaign to demand that al jazeera staff are freed. peter greste, moh

that benefits the poor because charities do things for the poor. well, i won't get into that, but a lot of charity goes to places that never flow any money to the poor. 1.6%nyway, they only get benefit of the charitable 87% of a goes and 8 to the well-off. even if you take all of those expenditures and deductions and combine it together, the low income only get 14% compared to 61% for the well-off. people say you cannot get rid of , theyese exemptions benefit the poor, they do not. the fair tax is progressive. this label ont the tax because it is a sales tax. it is a broad-based consumption tax that exempts the poor completely. they take the poverty level spending, which is based on family size, and that amount of spending is tax-free. so, this shows the effect of the te.-bai i took a particular family here, .o adult, to child household .he poverty level is $31,450 they would pay zero tax under the fair tax. income, which is somewhere in the 50's to 60's, they would only pay about 10%-11%. while the fair tax rate is the same for everybody, the actu

, for the poor are concentrated in this country.m one city to another, they're concentrated. that concentration is deadly. >> reporter: nowhere, according to the most recent census, are the poor more concentrated than in camden.ç nearly half the population of 77,000 lives in poverty. unemployment is almost 20%. you can buy a house here for as little as $15,000. across the delaware river in the shiny city of philadelphia, houses go for as much as $15 million.ç it's not just the poverty, not only the neighborhoods that look like they've been bombed out. it's the crime. in 2012, there were 266 shootings, 67 homicides, which makes camden per capita, according to the fbi, the most dangerous city in the u.s. >> reporter: 17-year-old julian jaquez knows how scary it is here. >> recently i just started being allowed to go outside. i went here to sacred heart, and i had friends who lived across the street, and i still wasn't allowed out. i had friends who lived two houses down from me; still wasn't allowed out. >> 90% of that is coming out

i don't have them with me, but john deary wrote a book on poor people with poor incomes. there is a case to be made based on facts that it does overall help the economy and people of lower incomes. i'm not -- i don't have with it me right now, but i will get it for you. just so that everybody can make their own decisions. that's what the white house has to tredefine. they have to be able to use facts. >> how convenient that you don't have the facts with you, dana. >> i didn't beat her up, she's a boxing pro. >> i can tell, the idea that you have to fix your nation's poor before you can fix the world's poor, so you can't bring in, you can't import poverty until you solve the poverty in your own country. >> why shouldn't it be part of it? >> let's start looking at the facts, we have got these folks already here, often times working in low end jobs, and especially in terms of the farming industry and stuff like that. and so you can't throw them out, i don't know you how you're going to do that. but you have to bring them into the global structure. >> there are a lot of repub

more than poor.even though most are poor, poorest of the poor, live in one room shan'ties, barely living on pennys a day. i'm one of those. we all have dreams of a better life. but is it really possible to ever escape poverty? through hard work and determination i have managed to succeed. today i'm helping to make a difference working with uganda's poorest of the poor. women, mostly, women who live on less than $1 a day. women who have experienced hunger, disease, and all that comes with that. this is a ten year old organization that works with ugandan women to empower them economically. women who come in and earn income, through bead making, when the women come into our programs, they are living on $1 a day. they have absolutely no disposable income. once they start selling once they have a little bit of cash in their hands it is their responsibility to purchase their supplies in the local market and this has a dual effect. one is it starts helping them to run a business, it is their eventually goal

overwhelmingly rewarding people to be poor keeps them poor.is crap has been tried before, and guess what it's failed miserably. we have less than a minute to go. tamara, what do you think about that? >> i think this is this goes to actually the idea that immigrants will steal jobs. if you know someone will steal your job, maybe that's the incentive you need to work harder and compete in the world. if there are more people that will take our jobs, work hard. matt: that leads to financial capital. work on the human capital, that financial capital will come. that hard work will bring the financial capital. >> the central government releasing so many regulations, central planning takes away liberty. liberty allows the human spirit in capital to flow. charles: you know, and i've been criticized before because for years -- before obama was president, i said, it always bothered me that the goal was to make poverty for comfortable. if you make it too comfortable, people don't have urge to get out of it. >> absolutely. i don't think poverty should be s

and that often can make the poor worse off rather than better off, unfortunately. >> host: how are

like, our pollution-based economy, you know, helped dictate that there were poor communities-- poor communities of color-- that were always at the negative end, you know, of what that meant. like, we weren't the ones making lots of money from these crazy technologies, and the pollution, and the trucks that may carry goods that we can't get in our own communities; but we were the ones who were breathing it in, and getting sick, and getting all sorts of cancers and stuff like that. >> hinojosa: so a term like "environmental racism"? >> mm-hmm-- no, actually, i don't like to use "environmental racism"... >> >> hinojosa: because? >> because when people who might be, or, i think on some level we all are, hear of that word, they have... especially when it's in relation to the environment, they'll think, "well, that's not me," and it shuts you down. when you say something like... >> hinojosa: "it's their problem; it's their community..." >> exactly, like, "i didn't do that; i'm not a racist." but if you say things like, "everyone deserves environmental justice," then everyone deserves the right to liv

and as you know, coming from poor neighborhoods, these poor kids, the only time they ever see officers is when bad things happen and they may or may not have a good impression. but this is an opportunity for them. >> and some of these kids fit that profile because some of these kids, their families were victims of crimes. and so you've pulled them out and said you want to help your families. >> that's correct. one of the things that we do is we reach out to children who are victims of domestic violence. when i say victims, either mom and dad or one or the other killed the other, unfortunately. and it happens. so these children are basically left to grieve. this is one opportunity for us to reach out to them and show them that somebody actually cares about them. and we do. and we give them all the support that we can because they're victims, too. >> what does this mean, maria, to your kids there at santee elementary? >> we're very lucky. we've been the resip yept cipie last three years. this has actually evolved now. we're making it a little bit bigger to make it a reading campaign. bec

i mean, yeah, hillary clinton is not poor. we get that, right? bill clinton is not poor.when they came out of the white house. they may have been struggling, but being a former first lady and former sitting president aavails you to so many opportunities, so many freebies and speaking fees and book fees, you're only as broke as you want to be. so let's be honest about that. that said, there's -- there has yet to be a sitting president in the modern era who doesn't have tons of money and doesn't mean they didn't necessarily have access to a vision of poor people that was redepartmentive or progressive. john edwards before his messiness was a populist candidate. didn't mean he didn't have a bunch of money. barack obama to some people was a progressive candidate, still had a ton of money. not george bush money, but still more than the people who represented his constituency. sarah palin, they picked on. her wardrobe, her so-called diva tendencies. i think this is more about gender than class. because everybody who runs for president has money. >> i don't think it has to do wi

san rafael has in fog here and it is the north by that will have the poor of the air quality today with no wood burning and we are all under the umbrella of the wood burning ban through midnight. tomorrow and possibly thursday could be "spare the air" alerts. we will hit the 70's everywhere but for richmond and san francisco and san rafael only a degree behind at 69. half moon bay is 6. that is the warm spot. most of the temperatures are in the mid-to-upper 60's. clear again tonight because of offshore wind and nearly 50 in richmond and san mateo and oakland and san francisco 51 and inelse is in the 40's. high pressure is moving but it is still sending the storm track to the north and the storm system will waste most of its energy or use most of its energy breakdown the high pressure so the second storm is the one that brings us the better chance of rain. if you travel temperature watch out for washington, dc, philadelphia, new york, boston, all will have snow through at least usually evening and it will clear out on thursday with more light snow on the way on thursday evening into frid

so now we are going to import the world's poor, to do what? the people who are here lawfully, who pay their taxes, who are still trying to get ahead for their family. it's very disconcerning to me. we had a marine who crossed the border into mexico, who was beaten, and treated so badly that he actually tried to take his own life. yes, we are a compassion and generous country, do we have laws to make room for others to come and enjoy the liberties that our family all wanted for us? we sure do, follow them, secure the borders, make this something that makes sense, don't just avoid due process and treat it like it doesn't exist and allow people to come in, under the name, under the guise of amnesty because that's not what amnesty is. >> you were saying earlier, you wanted to hear more from charles krauthammer. so i have some sound on table, i think this was him from last night talking about the immigration move. >> i believe it was an impeachable offense. this is a travesty, it was intended for extreme cases, it was never intended to abolish a wh

most are poor. ♪ ♪ >> but even amongst the poor, there are the poorest of the poor, they often live inhanties barely living on pennys a day. i'm one of those. we all have dreams of a better life. but is it really possible to ever escape poverty? through hard work and determination i have managed to succeed. today i'm helping to make a difference working with uganda's poorest of the poor. women, mostly, women who live on less than $1 a day. women who have experienced hunger, disease, and all that comes with that. this is a ten year old nonprofit organization that works with women in uganda to empower them economically and socially through the creation of small businesses. the core of our original business training was women who come in and earn income, through bead making, out of recycled i be paper, and those are the products that we sell to fund all our work. when the women come into our programs, they are living on $1 a day. they have absolutely no disposable income. so the first training components of the program will actually give them all the components they need because they don'

povertstill exists among the elderly, but being old is no longersynony with being poor.ked economic analyst richard gill to explain the economic thinking behind social security. our social security program is a bit like god, country, and yale. you have to be for all of them -- well, perhaps not yale -- but you have the feeling that they all work in rather mysterious ways. the reason we're for social security is that it has, in fact, achieved its central purpose -- providing for the needs of the elderly. poverty among our senior citizens, a deep concern in the 1930s, has been substantially reduced in the present day. the reason social security seems mysterious is really twofold. first, the system doesn't work at all in the way we were taught to believe it would. the idea seemed to be that an average citizen -- let's call him peter -- would deposit his and his employer's payroll taxes in a fund which would keep growing over the years. at retirement, this same peter would use theseaccumulated funds to live on. in fact, the way it works is that young peter pays into a fund w

and they are caring for the poor they required some kind of response in other words if you were poor because they were a drug addict or a quality that you enter a program to get rid of your addiction and then we are going to help you but you're not going to sustain you and your bad choices. if you were having babies out of wedlock with no husband or father in the hope he launched into a check to do that because it wasn't her fault but we won't continue to allow you to have kids out of wedlock and send you a check and the whole point of the institutions of the time was to reform these people so that they would lead a better life that would be better in the end for themselves. now they have been replaced. they've retreated to the sidelines by government, and it's become what i call a pre- version of the 21st on the government as my teeth i shall not want and i walked through the valley of the shadow of poverty and they comfort me with an ebt card. >> host: it's interesting looking at this you talk about the expansion of the entitlement society as you described is something that is a re

you have a new program for poor people. great. it offers the possibility of other income streams, which we'll use to destroy the internet economy. you put up an attractive poster child to try to hide a darker motive. i am suspicious of their plans. in developing countries, and might be another start. this country, what we should do is that when the cable companies merge, you say, you want to merge? why don't you offer people below a certain income $10 a month cable broadband access, or free? we know it cost you less than five dollars a month to provide it. you will still make a profit. there are very direct ways as opposed to trying to get net neutrality. >> the president also called for the rules to be extended to wireless. the fcc said they will attack wireless in some way after largely exempting them from the 2010 rules. how will this play out in wireless in your view? >> wireless was not completely exempt from 2010. i think most people view the internet as the internet at this point, and it has been a success story. a lot of i
