He also said he'd "have those (n-words) voting DemocRAT for the next 200 years".

When LBJ launched the War on Poverty, poor folks made up 14.7 percent of American society. Today, that figure is 14.5 percent. So it did work. Slightly.

When LBJ launched the War on Poverty, poor folks made up 14.7 percent of American society. Today, that figure is 14.5 percent. In the early 1830's, Alexis de Toqueville toured America and subsequently wrote of his travels in Democracy in America (1835).
Among his observations, he noted that, amidst a world o opportunity, there was a significant segment of the population which was satisfied with a cabin, a bare subsistence agriculture plus what they could beg, borrow or steal. He identified this segment without ambition and satisfied with subsistence as one in seven. That is, about 14%.
