Poverty is under suspicion: officials will count all our rubles and real estate

The "suspiciously poor" Russians will not be paid social benefits, Kommersant reports.

The payments for children from 3 to 7 years old, introduced exactly on the eve of the vote for amendments to the Constitution, will not be able to receive families with zero income, as well as citizens who have low incomes on paper, but at the same time have “too much” real estate. A family that, for example, has several houses with an area of more than 40 square meters, cannot be considered poor under the new rules. m per person. For payments from 3 to 7 years, households with an apartment, a house, a summer residence, a land plot of 0.25 hectares, a garage, a new car (there are many reservations), a motorcycle, a tractor, savings of about 200 thousand rubles will be able to apply.

"Parasites" who do not have legal income (salaries, business income, payments under contracts, fees, pensions, scholarships) will not be paid benefits. Exceptions: long-term treatment, caring for children in a large family or in a family with one parent, caring for a child under three years of age, serving a sentence, unemployment (you must be registered), military service.

Payments for children from 3 to 7 years old are 0.5 regional subsistence minimum per child (on average, 5.5 thousand rubles in the country). From April 1, the amount of the benefit will be differentiated: under the new rules, if the family is still below the poverty line when paying the basic amount of the benefit, payments will amount to 75% of the minimum. If this is not enough, the allowance will be 100% of the child's minimum subsistence level.

“There were problems with this allowance from the very beginning: there was always a lack of money, transfers were delayed, and there was a mess and delays in the regions. Earlier we wondered where the government will get the money for the raise. Here is the answer: in reducing the target audience of state aid", - writes on this occasion the telegram channel "Mysli-NeMysli", recalling that poverty in Russia and 80% consists of families with children. Even before the pandemic and crisis, every fourth child lived in a family with an income below the subsistence level; more than half (52.2%) of children live in poverty in large families.

Publicist Olga Tukhanina comments on the Russian authorities' new attack on their own citizens:

Our bureaucratic machine sometimes comes up with startling definitions.

Here's a new one: Suspicious Poverty.

I think it's charming. And what a wide field for new concepts opens up immediately! The Internet has already begun to fantasize. "A suspiciously long living retiree." "Suspiciously suffering patient".

You understand that all this is about you. You are suspiciously poor. In all things, he should be wealthy and prosperous, but no. This is very suspicious.

It's like some official comes up to you, nudges you in the side and winks:

"Well, why are you groggy? I haven't worked at the factory all my life, right? The husband is not a janitor either. Age is not for children. Admit it, there are twenty lyams in the stash, huh? Well, dug in at the dacha go? Bullion, huh? They ride a Lada, yeah, loins were found. Don't take your eyes off, look straight ahead: how many are buried behind the bathhouse?"

No, I understand that all this is directed against those who do not have a formal right to receive any benefits and assistance, but they themselves receive insidiously.

But, as usual, we are not told how much the oversight function will cost to the budget. Well, someone will have to separate the lambs from the goats, while sitting on the state salary.

To be honest, it is difficult for me to imagine citizens who have everything in order, prosperity, etc., but they go to the social security department for an additional five for children. Well, let's say there are some. How many of them, these reptiles and parasites?

But it is easy for me to imagine a family that, on formal grounds, does not fall under all assistance programs, but in reality it really needs this help. But you have as much as three thousand more than you should, so you fly by like plywood, scammers.

Fortunately, all these things do not concern me personally, the children have grown up long ago, there are no grandchildren yet. And when they did, everything was simpler: they didn't pay anything to anyone, and that's the end of it. No hassle.

But today the invention of all sorts of "suspicious poverty" shows that the economy is stalling. With our best finance ministers and the leadership of the Central Bank. But this interferes with natural optimism. Doesn't let you indulge in unbridled frenzy..."

Network analyst Boris Gudkov drew fair anger at Ministry of Labor officials:

“The suspiciously rich officials, instead of working on the super profits of the suspiciously rich oligarchs, decided to let the suspiciously poor poor go around the world.

Suspicious, isn't it?

For our part, we propose to check suspicious officials from the Ministry of Labor with all sorts of suspicion. Perhaps they will find real estate suspicious not in salary and, if we continue to suspect, safes with suspiciously large bundles of suspicious-looking money..."

The publicist Dmitry Svergun offers to look at extremely curious figures, blatant about how the welfare of Russians has fallen over the past 13 years:

“Eggs in 2007 cost 25-30 rubles. In 2021 - 60-90 rubles. Rise in price - almost 3 times by 200%. Gasoline AI-92 in 2007 - 15 rubles per liter. In 2021 - 45 rubles per liter. Increase in price by 200%. Salaries have not increased. We live great, terpily!"

Even Rosstat claims that Russia is a country of the poor. This is how the population of the country is distributed in terms of average per capita money income.

According to Rosstat, the average per capita monetary income of a quarter of the population of Russia is from 27 to 45 thousand rubles a month. In second place is the group of the population, the average per capita income of which averages 19-27 thousand rubles a month. The group of people whose incomes exceed 100,000 rubles a month make up 4% of the population of Russia.
