After nearly fifty years of the war on poverty and a trillion dollars spent we have accomplished nothing. How about something radical like personal responsibility? I am not your Daddy.

Thanks to Lyndon Bird, the negro father that used to sit proudly at the head of the dining room or kitchen table to eat the food that his wife prepared using his hard-earned wages is no longer there. He was murdered by the 'Great Society' which has turned a very large segment of the population into a filthy,crack using, government money grabbing, sexual animal that procreates with multiple mates and hasn't married any of them.

The 'Great Society' is the diseased society.

Thanks Democrats and Progressives and their fellow communist travelers. Let's get Hillary elected in 2016 and finish off this doomed nation.

The latest figure is an estimate that SIX TRILLION dollars have been spent on The War on Poverty. The result of all socialist government programs is failure and this one is probably the most damaging of all.

I live in a vast metropolis of around 150 people.

Biblical history shows that God’s plan was for people to live on the land, and not clustered up in cities.

I feel a bit convicted, living on the edge of a city on some farm acreage, because I’m comparing myself to Lot, living in a tent towards Sodom.

Cities are totalitarian gulags. They give the tyrants of any age a prime opportunity to CONTROL the masses. Don’t believe me? Look at where the blue is on any state political map. It’s in the cities.

Anyone who has ever spent any amount of time in a first world Asian city (Japan, Singapore or even Korea and Taiwan) marvels at how functional they are compared to your typical American large city once you get away from the glitzy downtowns and tourist areas.

The entire difference can be explained by family structure. Asian cities have them, out cities don't.

I lived in Japan for 14 years and walked through city neighborhoods far more densely populated than anything we have in the United States. Typically, the loudest sound I would hear would be some kid practicing their piano lessons in one of these rabbit hutch sized flats three floors up.

This is almost impossible to believe now, but there actually was a time in America when the cities were "civilized" and civil, and the hinterlands were dangerous. Remember the Old West? Back then eastern cities really were safe . . . and religious.

But then, that was back in the days when "left wing reformers" crusaded against gambling, prostitution, and alcohol!

The Marxist/Leftist ruling class in America wants the suburbs and the countryside to itself. That’s why they want everyone else corralled into the decaying cities of America. These liberal elitists want to play “lord of the manor.” They see themselves as some sort of nobility that has to be genuflected to. The want vast estates surrounded by thousands of acres so as to separate themselves from the unwashed masses.

Sending jobs overseas also added to his demise. I would say that jobs were purposely sent overseas because an increasing number of black men were being hired and becoming part of the middle class. And this would eventually upset the white upper class power structure as successful middle class black men climbed the power ladder and would eventually become leaders. Those in power couldn’t have that, thus the reason for the Great Society to wage war on society and prevent blacks especially and a majority of low income others including whites from having hope that they might suceed through hard work. Along with jobs, morals and virtue are what make a society successful. Remove morals and virtue then who needs jobs, remove jobs and hope then despair can destroy morals and virtue.

So much for reparations - six million dollars for the war on poverty and in the Civil War Between the States, hundreds of thousands lives of white soldiers, both northern and southern as well as a number of black soldiers also both northern and southern.

This is so true. Using EPA and other regulatory agencies they have taken land away from the people.

they want it to be 1850 England all over again.

If they dont watch their grabbing, it will be 1789 France all over again

You’re daft if you think urban living is what is keeping certain urban populations poor. Just take a look at their poor cousins, still in the Mississippi brush, who didn’t move to Northern cities for work.

I agree, statists want to herd us into cities and onto public transportation for control and resource management, but there is truth to creeping poverty in more suburbs—caused by the Obama economy.

American cities are death traps. That’s why Americans flee them. What should have been citadels of civilization have been turned into dangerous shooting galleries by the nation destroying policies of the the Marxist Democrat Party.

If the RATS can force everyone to live in the city they can control your life.

City water and sewer systems. Illegal to drill your own well or septic system.

Public transportation. They can tax you out of your auto and remove parking spaces.

They can even make it illegal to do your own home repairs.

You have to conform to their every wish or you can't survive. They can shut off your heat and elec, your water and septic, and even limit your means of transportation.

Screw the cities and the central planners, I do whatever I want and they can't control me.

If I want to put a rifle range in my yard ( I did) I can. If the power goes out I can fire up the wood burner and a generator.

I can raise/grow my own food and hunt and fish on my property without asking anyone for permission or buying permits.
