In this episode of American Socrates, we explore the myths about poverty in the United States. Poverty isn’t caused by laziness or bad choices—it’s built into the system. From outdated government definitions of poverty to wage stagnation, skyrocketing housing and healthcare costs, and the decline of unions, we break down the forces that trap millions of Americans in struggle. We expose how both Republicans and Democrats have gutted safety nets, how race and gender inequalities deepen the crisis, and how poverty has been turned into profit for corporations, landlords, and the prison industry. Most importantly, we reframe the question: not “what’s wrong with poor people?” but “what’s wrong with a system that produces poverty in abundance?” With raw stories, urgent statistics, and a fiery call to action, this episode invites working people to see through the lies—and imagine a future where poverty is no longer profitable.
