The poor get poorer.
God forbid we address the issue of poverty. Much easier to demonize them.
The Great War On Poverty has existed for 50 years.
For the last 45 years the poverty rate has remained between about 11.5% and 15.3%. That's not much of a difference. Guess what the current poverty rate is?
And the war on drugs has been going 30 years. All that proves is that America is a lot less adept at social wars than they are at shooting wars. Predictable, when you think about it.
