Ha, seriously?! Wealth drags all people upward sounds like 'trickle down economics' which has been super successful right? I feel so much better knowing that 1% are so much richer, and apparently dragging me up with them. Thanks, the 1%! I take your point that poverty in 2016 is very different from poverty in 1916 or 1816. But anyone who thinks that there is not real poverty in this country (someone who cannot get enough to eat, regularly, and faces hard choices about whether to turn on the heating or pay the rent in the winter) is delusional. It isn't just 'don't have a plasma screen TV' "poverty". Yes seriously.

Seems Corbyn waited for May's speech before releasing a press statement. “Conservative Party leaders have sunk to a new low this week as they fan the flames of xenophobia and hatred in our communities and try to blame foreigners for their own failures. “Drawing up lists of foreign workers won’t stop unscrupulous employers undercutting wages in Britain. Shutting the door to international students won’t pay young people’s tuition fee debts, and ditching doctors from abroad won’t cut NHS waiting lists. “The Conservatives will instead foster division and discrimination in our workplaces and communities. “Once again, they are making false promises on immigration they can’t deliver. Instead of turning people against each other, ministers should take action now to deal with the real impact of migration. “They should stop the abuse of migrant labour to undercut pay and conditions, which would reduce numbers. “They should support communities with high levels of migration and they should set out a positive agenda for fair migration rules as part of the Brexit negotiations for a new relationship with the European Union.” Edited by nickgusset (05 Oct 2016 3.39pm)

Yes seriously. Wrong. there is no evidence that Trickle Down economics works. Its a complete myth.
when poor people are given money they spend it because they cant afford to save. Rich people stash it away. Since 1988 lower earners in developing countries are worse off than in 1988

Since 1988 lower earners in developing countries are worse off than in 1988 Certainly immigration puts a downward pressure on wages which is why the puppet masters who control the EU so desperately want it to continue. But there is no way that people are worse off than 50, 100 or 200 years ago.
