From The Daily Show.

“Investing in American people and stabilizing communities that need it the most is the best way for all of us.” Sociologist at Princeton University and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Evicted,” Matthew Desmond sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his latest book, “Poverty, by America.” They talk about America’s welfare state, how society benefits from poverty, the opportunity to close the poverty gap if the top one percent paid their taxes, and empowering the poor with better choices like building worker power, and expanding housing choice. They also highlight how Democrats need to get more serious about economic justice to fully commit to poverty abolitionism. #DailyShow #Poverty #America #Welfare
