>> Virtually every program to help the poor was put forth by the Democrats and fought against by the Republicans.

And what have those programs done for the poor other than to leave us $20 Trillion in debt? The poor are still poor. What have you done about it? Nothing.

The poor today are better off SOLELY because of free markets creating better and cheaper products that make the lives of ordinary people, middle class and poor alike, better.

Where has the $22 Trillion we spent on anti-poverty programs gone? Public housing which is falling down all over the country, drug-infested neighborhoods where teenagers and adults raised in single parent families had just as soon shoot you as look at you. Women with 9 kids from 9 daddies. Men who have fathered 27 kids and take care of none. All receiving public money.

That is what YOUR ideas gave us.
