  Kill the Poor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Kill the Poor" (B-side "Insight") is a single by the hardcore punk band Dead Kennedys released in October of 1980.
When "Kill the Poor" got a surprising amount of play in some third world countries, the band wondered if the government took the song literally and were actively promoting it.
"Kill the Poor" was the leadoff track to the 1980's classic Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and is considered a classic of the early punk era and one of the Kennedys' best-known and most-loved songs.

After a short intermission, during which the matador may, according to tradition, ask permission to kill the bull and dedicate the kill to someone in the crowd, the final, lethal Act III begins.
A quick kill is not always easy, and the matador may have to make several bloody thrusts before the sword stays in and the bull finally dies.
Historically, even the bull’s mother is killed, since the evil qualities are assumed to have come from the mother.

 Review: Kill the Poor - Cinematical   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kill the Poor is a prime example of a failed adaptation.
Kill the Poor was a decade-long labor of love for Taylor, who also directed the films Palookaville and The Emperor's New Clothes and currently seems to making the rounds filming episodes for the hottest television shows on the air.
In the case of Kill the Poor, perchance Taylor was not able to objectively look at his version and see how little it works on its own.

 Kill The Poor | The A.V. Club   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
At times, Alan Taylor's Kill The Poor seems more like a collection of gimmicks than a film.
But ultimately, the stylistic tricks can't cover the gaps in substance, particularly when it comes to the vast blank of Krumholtz and Bellar's relationship.
Kill The Poor has its moments, particularly in its one-two punch ending, but it ultimately feels like Taylor lost a reel of crucial footage somewhere, and did what he could to distract the audience with fancy footwork.

 Amid sweeping cuts in US budget Bush plans renewed assault on Medicaid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
According to Families USA, a health care advocacy group, optional beneficiaries include 6 million working poor adults, 5 million children, 3 million seniors, 2 million people with severe chronic disabilities and 3.5 million additional adults and children with medical bills that take up most or all of their income.
Ohio Governor Bob Taft is expected to unveil a proposal this week to purge 25,000 people from the state’s Medicaid rolls by decreasing the income-eligibility requirement to 90 percent of the poverty level.
The attack on Medicaid is part of a systematic campaign to drastically curtail and eventually eliminate all of the limited welfare state programs enacted in the 1930s and 1960s.

No answers are forthcoming, but that the streets of the film are scarcely populated supports the former theory, and that the film's slum occupies space on fictional Avenue E lends credence to the latter fantasy scenario.
Shot on crummy digital video, Kill the Poor's visual focus is as fuzzy as its social perspective.
I'd rather see how the eradication of Carlos and his son from the hood changes the area's social fabric, a vision of moral and social consequence Taylor denies his audience.

 Tenants to Rudy’s RGB: Kill the Poor Tax   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The “poor tax,” or low-rent surcharge, has been imposed in all six years of the Giuliani administration, and its compound effect has contributed to the loss of half of all apartments renting for below $500 since 1993.
Based on the federal rent-hardship level of 30% of income, a $500 apartment is affordable only to families making at least $20,000 annually, yet the median income in households with rents under $500 is only $15,000.
For this reason, groups which previously have not been directly involved in Rent Guidelines Board issues, like the Coalition for the Homeless and the Community Food Resource Center, are joining Met Council and other housing advocates in demanding that the RGB kill the poor tax in 2000.

 Three Cheers for the Poor
Aside from a few mean-spirited folks ("Kill the poor"*, "Hunger doesn't exist") it seems most Americans would like you to be able to climb your way out.
If you're out of work, we'll tell you to get a job; however, as we need a certain number of people to be without jobs, I guess the underlying message is Go f--- yourself.
The Dead Kennedys song "Kill the Poor" does not actually endorse killing the poor; it's a facetious explanation of Jello Biafra's first guess at the purpose of a neutron bomb.

 NCPA - International Issues - Communicable Diseases Kill The Poor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Researchers at the World Bank warn that health policies that put the emphasis on tackling non-communicable diseases among elderly people rather than on communicable diseases among younger people risk widening the global health gap between the richest and poorest countries.
In contrast, 85 percent of deaths among the richest were due to non-communicable diseases compared with 32 percent among the poorest.
Thus if the decline of communicable diseases were doubled, life expectancy by 2020 would be extended by an additional 4.1 years among poor people but it would be extended by less than six months among the richest people.

Poor Americans are getting some help this winter from, of all places, Venezuela, where the per capita GDP -- even factoring in Bobby Abreu's salary -- is only around $5,800.
A lot of them usually die before this belated assistance is provided, but this is seen as a helpful reminder that they ought not to become "dependent" upon handouts such as medical care for their children or a rescue from a rooftop.
Such as, "Being poor is $6 short on the utility bill and no way to close the gap." And especially, "Being poor is people who have never been poor wondering why you choose to be so." Read the whole thing.
