Expanding the pool of poor people means there are more people who want to vote for the "do-gooders".

Is it odd that the "do-gooders" promote policies which expand the poor of poor people? Not really.

Poverty rates would drop like a rock if we eliminated the modern welfare state.

leaders in Charleston, the capital, who took the county’s solidly Democratic voters for granted and never courted them with aid.

The preceding paragraphs make it sound like that's all they "courted them" with.

I recently was in Romney, WV for a tactical training class and I looked for that desperate poverty and I could not find much. Did see some trailers, but to claim WV is America’s white Soweto is a little much. Romney and the small towns around it were nice little towns with well kept houses.

New truth....

I visit WV from time to time to look at mining equipment being exported. There are a lot of small manufacturers making very specialized mining machinery and equipment that are being wiped out by the war on coal.

While not in the hundreds or thousands, they have lots of employees that are becoming jobless. The alternative is the mines.....nope, also closed.

Unscientific.

Bad as the situation is, without a control group there is no way to tell whether there would be even more poor people today were it not for the war on poverty.

When President Lyndon B. Johnson declared “unconditional war on poverty” in 1964, it was the squalor of Appalachia he had in mind.

Lie. As a matter of fact, Democrat President Lyndon Baines Johnson stated, “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years” as he confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One regarding his underlying intentions for the “Great Society” programs.
