Reply to "Why the UN is investigating extreme poverty … in America, the world's richest nation."

Not surprising. Social inequality is a hallmark of capitalism. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The US in its self-appointed role of world policeman is spending $$$trillions to furnish its military bases worldwide, to make more sophisticated armaments and other military supplies, and to wage wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc. That money could have been used inside the US to alleviate poverty. Instead it's further enriching shareholders of the military-industrial complex.
