Our anti poverty programs should focus on people who really need help. Instead the Dems try to catch more in their net. Then they neglect and abuse the most unfortunate, as now when their proposing robbin the hood to subsidize kids in families up to 80,000 per year. Or, and this is my favorite. We pay Phil Donahue $1500/mo Social Security benefits and screw elderly widows so that $25% of them are trying to get by on $500/mo. They don't have the same bootstrap options as younger people do.

Maybe we could come up with better ways to help the poor without government. They sure do a bad job. But we should start by focusing on true need and doing the best we can for those who cannot make it on their own. Now, we just force them into the worst, crime infested neighborhoods and sick an army of exploiters on them.

Edwards knows money because he has confiscated so much of it, and Gore knows energy because he’s p***ed so much of it away with his heated swimming pool.
