John Edwards says there are 2 Americas.

Liberal / radical types don’t want any reasoned discussion of how the poor are better off nowadays than they have been in the past. Nor do they want to hear that some people fall below the poverty line due to job losses, for example, and then when working again, rise up out of poverty.

And yes, the war on poverty got started in the ‘60s with LBJ’s Great Society. Why doesn’t John Edwards criticize the failures of that war strategy when he talks about fighting poverty? Is it because LBJ was a good Democrat like him? Can’t speak ill of any other Democrat?

It’s no secrete to anyone who has been paying attention that the “poor” in America live better than nine/tenths of the rest of the world.

That’s why they all want to come here. Ever hear of anyone trying to sneak into Nigeria or Haiti?
