Did you even bother to read the article? If you did your comprehension sk**ls are deficient. The vast majority of the people are WORKING. Many at LOW WAGE jobs that cannot pay housing, food, child care so they CAN work, health care wich their employers does NOT provide, and t***sportation to GET to work. The others are working and earn too much to qualify for federal poverty programs but are still unable to cover their monthly expenses.
California, especially with its extremely regressive taxes (gasoline, sales, property, etc) that hit the poor and middle class hardest. Then couple that with the ridiculously high cost of housing and yes many are struggling.
But all you see is those taking advantage of the system. How do you know they are? Maybe their spouse works, who knows? Have you ever asked one of them? If they are sponging off the "system", whose fault is that?
Novick also stated, "More low-wage jobs may decrease the unemployment rate, but employment doesn’t mean families can pay their bills. Stephanie Hoopes, a founding author of the study, explained this frustration, telling NJ.com that “the rate of inflation in the past 10 years has been about 9 percent, but the cost of living for ALICE families has risen by nearly twice that.” As a result, she explained, “There’s a sense of frustration or even anger because people are being told that they’re doing better but they aren’t.”
Of course the top 1% are still more absurdly wealthy than the bottom 80% but hey they needed a huge take cut to ensure that the gap keep getting wider.
Thus, we have trumpy's f**e economy.

Here you go again Buffalo. It is not about reading. Your reports are F**E NEWS! I don't take that at face value. It is about facts happening with your own people in the real world. Those people who practice luxury at the expense of other people. These have been their lifestyle, and been used to it. Besides free manicure and pedicure, and hair straightening, and coloring, they have been offered free Sec. 8 housing, free food stamps, free phones, free medical care, free schools.
They are not suffering. Fact is they are fat of eating so much. I saw their groceries loaded with all kinds of packaged meat, drinks, and all sorts of food. Fact is their grocery carts are loaded. They are living in luxury compared to those who work hard and pay taxes to feed them. That is why millions from 3rd world countries want to come, to experience this luxury living of the so called poor in the US.
By the way, the people you mentioned don't pay Federal Income tax. Their income do not meet the bracket that is taxable. If they work, the taxes withheld every payday, are fully refunded to to them at year-end when they file IRS tax form 1040. In addition, more money is given for children's 16 years and below or for children up to 26 years of age who are in school.
There are more of those people I've mentioned above during your president Obama. During Obama's time, 46 million households are on food stamps. Fifty-one percent (51%) of households don't pay income tax.
Now with president Trump at the WH, unemployment is currently at 3.9%, b****s at 6.7%, and Mexicans also went down significantly. Because they work, they become producers, no longer dependent on Food Stamps, and Welfare subsidies. They also pay Social Security and Medicare. They become producers and now have since of p***e and dignity of their lives.
For 14 months of president Trump at the WH, he has done significant improvements on our economy, national security, immigration, and world respect for the United States.
God purposely put president Trump at the WH to save America from the destruction of Obama via the Deep State now currently very powerful underground forces. The president has been restoring the massive damages to our country during the Obama years, along with your crooked Hillary Clinton.
