Ask Mr Krugman why poverty was at 14% in 1964 and is at 14% in 2011. He cannot educate his butt out of that one.

When Alexis de Toqueville toured the USA in 1831, he observed that one in seven households lived in poverty and squalor.

Even though they lived in the midst of plenty, in a land that was literally full of opportunity, one in seven Americans were unwilling to take advantage of what was there for the doing.

One in seven = 14%.

A lib will never understand. God commands us to help the poor.

The Government can never help the poor.
