Jerry Brown And Wife's Hungry California Kids..

by Jerry Brown & Wife's Hungry California Kids
California leads USA with Highest Child Poverty Rate and state Debt.. .. **We believe the masses of Jerry's California impoverished school kids should not be missing dinner since Ready to Eat Meals can now easily be inserted into the children's backpacks for their meal in the evening..
According to the California Department of Education, during the 2012-13 school year, more than 3.1 million students participated in the National School Lunch Program and more than 1.3 million in the School Breakfast Program.
“In California, more than 2 million children live in poverty and are in danger of going hungry. Research has shown that hunger in children has a lasting impact on their health and success in the classroom.

*CA voters only approved a $12 billion future High~Speed Rail project,
not this multi~billion$ overpriced corrupted rail hei$t..

California leads America in poverty and debt ($880 billion)
with no end in sight until a new state Governor is elected.



President Hillary Clinton~Donald Trump would never allow Governor Jerry Brown and his wife to continue to neglect these masses of California kids going hungry,in the wealthiest country in the world..

Tragic that "Citizens United" has now afforded Governor Brown and his wife to hustle tens of million$ in tax~free Super PAC dark$ from billionaires & Inter+National Corp$ to be more concerned with their financial interests rather than correcting state poverty and $880 billion of CA debt$..

California Has Highest Child Poverty Rate In Nation
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/feb/25/california-has-nations-highest-child-poverty-rate/ via @KPBSnews

Latino households are more than twice as likely to be food insecure as White, non-Hispanic households.

More than one in five (22%) Latino households are food insecure as compared to just one in 10 (11%) White, non-Hispanic households and one in seven (14%) households overall.[iii]
More than one in four Latino children (29%) live in food-insecure households as compared to one in seven (15%) White, non-Hispanic children.[iv]
The 89 counties in 2013 with a majority Hispanic population compose 3 percent of all U.S. counties. Twenty-seven percent of these majority Hispanic counties fall into the top 10 percent of counties with the highest rates of childhood food insecurity.[v]
Of the top 10 counties in the nation with the highest food-insecurity rates for children, three have a population that is majority Hispanic.

First, millionaire Democrat Jerry Brown is the same as the millionaire Republicans and that is why you should always vote socialist or Green. The Democrat-Republicans are the parties of the capitalist class, the millionaires and billionaires, as that is who pays for the existence of the Democrat-Republicans.

Second, when you focus on the entire workingclass, you advance the cause of all of us workers. When you focus just on one ethnic group, you weaken our struggle to put an end to the capitalist profit motive that is the cause of all our grief.

Let us look at the figures on California public school children since most children go to public school and those parents who can afford private school can also afford to feed their children, so the poverty problem is in the public schools. See
Fingertip Facts on Education in California, 2014-2015, by the State of California at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sd/cb/ceffingertipfacts.asp

You will see that California has 6,235,000 public school children. Of those, 53% or 3,344,000 are Latino, 25% or 1,531,000 are white-non-Hispanic, 8% or 545,720 are Asian American and 6% or 373,280 are African-American. You state that 15% of white children, or 225,000 white children are starving. I assume you mean California children, but if not, the point is the same. Those 225,000 starving white children are just as important as all other starving people and we can only end poverty by uniting as workers for a general strike to get rid of the capitalist profit motive that is the cause of poverty.

So now, the white, non-Hispanic schoolchildren in California are only 25% of the public school population, and overall, white non-Hispanics are 35% of the California population as the median age of that group is 42 and rising, soon not large enough to be counted as an ethnic group. There is no significant European immigration to this country and has not been since the 1920s, with a surge in the 1940s that ended by 1950, since the United States has no socialized medicine and still has the death penalty, both unlike Europe, and does not have such basics as federally mandated paid vacations and maternity leave.

There is one benefit in pointing out that 15% of white children are starving and that is after 5 or more generations American as most white schoolchildren are, this capitalist, backward, barbaric, war-mongering country with no socialized medicine as exists in the rest of the industrialized world, does not now and never did provide freedom, democracy and opportunity to anyone, including whites, unless you are willing to sing the company tune and exploit your fellow workers or make it possible to exploit the workingclass.

You should go further in your description of poverty in the USA by stating that 50% of Americans cannot provide $2,000 within 30 days to pay for an emergency, and 60-80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, including the 50% in poverty.

Thus, we, the American workingclass, the 80% of Americans who sell our labor for less than $80,000 a year are:
Black, brown, yellow, red and white,
Same enemy, same fight,
Workers of the world, unite!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
