In response to my post "Re: Growing Inequalities - Response To
'Haim'," [Hake (2012)], Robert Hansen (2012) wrote [bracketed by
lines "HHHHH. . . . ."; my inserts at ". . . . .[[insert]]. . . .":
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
1. According to your census link. . . . .[["Child Poverty in the
United States 2009 and 2010: Selected Race Groups and Hispanic
Origin" (USCB, 2011a) at <http://1.usa.gov/KGCpet>]]. . . ., it seems
that hispanics have a high rate of poverty. . . . .[[not just
"poverty," it's "32.3% of *children* in poverty]]. . . ., almost as
high as the black rate of poverty. . . . .[[ not just "poverty," it's
38.2% of *children* in poverty]]. . . . .
2. According to the following census link. . . . [["2010 Census Shows
Nation's Hispanic Population Grew Four Times Faster Than Total U.S.
Population" (USCB, 2011b) at <http://bit.ly/JYYd9x>]]. . . ., between
2000 and 2010 the Hispanic population increased by almost 50%, over 4
times as fast as the rest of the nation.
This seems to support Haim's statement rather well. . . . [[NO! - see
below]]. . . ., that the rapidly increasing hispanic population (with
their high poverty rate) is a substantial portion of the increase in
poverty for the nation as a whole.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hansen's point appears to be (please correct me if I'm wrong):
The *rapidly increasing* Hispanic population is
responsible for a substantial fraction of the
*increasing rate* of poverty of the U.S. as a whole . . . (Han)
Does "Han" support "Haim's" statements "Ham1,2", summarized in Hake (2012) as:
Immigrants from Latin America are responsible
for a significant fraction of poverty in the U.S. . . . . . (Ham1)
Income inequality can be reduced
by restricting Latino immigration. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Ham2)
Obviously not! I would think that polymath Hansen would appreciate
the difference between "x" and "dx/dt". Even "Haim" is aware of the
difference! In response to Hansen (2012). "Haim" (2012b) wrote:
"Right, but Hake was referring to . . . .[[what the virulently
anti-progressive "Haim" calls]]. . . the classical Marxist metric of
'The Gap'. . . . [[i.e., "Ham1"]]. . . . . . . "
