Despite the cacophony of complaining you hear from the left about how things are so horrible and that the plight of the poor is getting worse, remember, a little dose of reality provides a lot of clarity. For if you look at the federal budget over time and how we've "voted" to spend our money, you'll note that wealth redistribution programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, welfare and so forth have taken a larger and larger percentage of the budget. If the wealth redistribution programs are winning, why in hell does study after study show a greater proportion of US wealth concentrating more and more in the hands of fewer and fewer people? If the poor are getting theirs, why is the poverty level growing? And finally why is this topic important?
