    What the fuck are you even saying? Maybe you should give the "dank nugz" a rest before you post, brah.

    You figured all that out about someone just from watching a commercial? Impressive.

    this sounds like a sociological question jerome, and I am taking intro to sociology, so to help you, use this site my teacher told us to use for such matters.

    what's wrong with jstor? I like using online databases, they're the fastest way to find articles, which is a great thing for semi-lazy students like me who dislike spending 15 minutes in the university library just to track down an article which you're not even sure of yet if it's going to be of any use..

    starvation does kill, though.

    As to your question, it's tough to answer- no one dies 'to poverty.' A lack of money, in and of itself, won't kill you. Starvation will kill you, and that might or might not be due to poverty. Violent crime might kill you, and that may or may not be committed by an impoverished person and may or may not happen to you because you're impoverished. The studies TK points to are going to give you a roundabout view at best, and if you've seen political ads that say "X people died to poverty" they're probably engaging in misinformation or fudging facts.

    I specify poverty as 1) being poor and 2) dying from starvation/disease as a result of 3) being poor

    and seriously, yes, i do know all this, but like you said, there are "roundabout" studies, and that's all i need. a concrete number, for the purposes of the paper it doesn't have to be realistic - I just have to have a source

    i dunno, i'm always seeing those hippie commercials, that are like, "last year alone, over X americans died to poverty". i'm writing a paper on Malthusian economics (the thesis is basically we should get rid of welfare so poor people die instead of doing other things like suck welfare money and murder people), and so of course when i need just a quick stat, i can't find it. none of the hippie commercials/advertisements anywhere, and google brings up alot of sort-of related, but not, results.
