Wer einmal in die Armutsfalle geriet, für den ist es heute immer schwieriger sich aus der sozialen Notlage wieder zu befreien. Zugleich ist das Risiko in eine wirtschaftliche Bedrängnis zu geraten weiterhin gestiegen. Das ergeht aus dem aktuell vorgestellten 'Datenreport 2011 - Sozialbericht für Deutschland'. Weiter lesen:

Hartz IV Änderungen satt

Nach Feststellung der Verfassungswidrigkeit der Berechnung des Hartz IV Regelsatzes durch das Bundesverfassungsgericht setzten sich die Politiker in Berlin zusammen, um Neuregelungen zu finden. Nach zähen Verhandlungen zwischen Koalition und Opposition kamen 5 Euro monatlich mehr dabei heraus. Plus ein Bildungsgutscheinsystem zur kulturellen Teilhabe unserer Kinder, welches bisher kaum Anklang fand. Dies waren wohl die Änderungen, von denen die meisten etwas mitbekommen haben. Allerdings gab es gleich eine ganze Palette einschneidender Änderungen, welche in der Öffentlichkeit kaum Beachtung fanden. Weiter lesen:

Eklatante Verletzung von Menschenrechten weltweit und in Deutschland und Boom für Millionäre

Zum Welternährungstag am 16. Oktober 2011 und zum Internationalen Tag für die Überwindung der Armut am 17. Oktober 2011 erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping:

Der jüngst vorgestellte Welthungerindex zeigt, dass in 26 Länder der Erde die Hungersituation sehr ernst ist. Über 925 Millionen Menschen auf der Erde leiden an Hunger. Gleichzeitig steigen die Preise fürNahrungsmittel wegen den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, der Verwendung von Nahrungsmittel für Agrartreibstoffe und Spekulationen an den Agrarmärkten. In Deutschland verfestigt sich Armut: Ein Drittel der Armen war dauerhaft, also über fünf Jahre, arm. Als arm galt im Jahr 2008 derjenige Alleinlebende, der ein Nettoeinkommen unter 929 Euro hatte. 16 Prozent der armutsgefährdeten Personen können ihre Wohnung nicht warm halten. Fast jeder dritte Armutsgefährdete kann sich nicht einmal jeden zweiten Tag eine vollwertige Mahlzeit mit Fleisch, Fisch oder eine entsprechende vegetarische Mahlzeit leisten. Dem gegenüber melden die Vermögensreporte, dass die Zahl der Millionäre auf Rekordkurs ist. Allein in den Ländern Österreich, Deutschland und Schweiz stiegen die Anzahl der Vermögensmillionäre von 2009 zu 2010 um 7 Prozent und die Vermögen um 9,3 Prozent auf 2,8 Billionen Euro. Die Ursache für diese Bereicherung wird schamlos genannt: die ungehemmte Spekulation an den Kapital- und Rohstoffmärkten. Hunger und Armut sind eklatante Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Der Vermögensboom für Millionäre ist eine Unverschämtheit. Ursachen sind die Umverteilung von unten nach oben, die Aneignung und Ausbeutung der allen gehörenden Natur und Wissensgüter durch eine kleine Minderheit sowie die Ausbeutung menschlicher Fähigkeiten für die Megamaschine Kapital.

Links Between Climate Change and Increased Social Unrest Unacknowledged

Michael Busch, Truthout: 'In many respects, 2011 has been marked as much by the mayhem of nature as it has by the upheavals of men. Although challenges to political authority have captured the imaginations of millions and produced exciting tremors of revolution across the continents, Mother Natures' increasingly ferocious response to the heavy environmental footprint of industrial production will likely be judged the most profound source of social change around the world in the years to come.'

Occupy Wall Street Showdown: Triumph and Tense Clashes

Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: 'The image of those cops suddenly erupting into aggressive action with their clubs out in the midst of a peaceful protest will stay with me for a long time. And so will the image of a young man reading Voltaire a little while later, immersed in the words of an Enlightenment philosopher who said, among other things: 'It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.'

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

Perry loves to criticize government spending at every opportunity while out on the campaign trail, but sadly, the facts show that he s spent 11 years as the governor of Texas seeking money from Washington to spend. ... Perry has made 1,180 requests for federal aid since 2001, according to the Associated Press, which means he s sent letters seeking money from Washington at a rate of about one every four days...
