Why do socialists hate the poor?

Christianity Today, Sojourners, The Baptist News Global and other Christian media promote socialism as the cure for poverty. They assume their own moral superiority because they have good intentions, they claim. But none can give an example of a socialist country helping the poor. The record of socialism is one of punishing and impoverishing the poor in every case and the more socialist the country the poorer it became. In addition, the defunct Soviet Union murdered over 60 million of its own people as did communist China. 

Of course, those countries tried to honestly implement Marx's political nonsense to the fullest, being true believers. What about Europe? Western Europe didn't believe as much in Marx as others, so it implemented democrat socialism, a half-hearted attempt to follow his principles. The result was stagnation. The poor in the U.S. are as wealthy as the typical European. 

Media discovers K-shaped economy

 

A few economists and the media have discovered what they call the "K-shaped" economy.  According to the US Bank website, 

"A K-shaped economy describes an economic recovery where different groups or industries experience vastly different outcomes – some thrive and grow, while others struggle or decline. This term was intended to highlight the widening economic inequality during periods of recovery or downturn. It fits the saying, 'the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.'"

Capitalism celebrates 500th anniversary

This year the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary, which is great! But the birth of capitalism is even more significant because it changed the world far more than has the U.S. and this country would not exist as it is without the birth of capitalism. Capitalism lifted a starving world out of poverty to wealth impossible to imagine before. From prehistory until the 17th century, the entire planet was mired in frequent episodes of mass starvation due to famines. There was very little improvement in living standards for 10,000 years. Europeans were hardly better off than the Egyptians who built the pyramids. Capitalism ended that misery and lifted living standards for the first time in history. See the hockey stick graph of per capita GDP for an illustration.
