If we haven’t ended poverty by now, we’re not going to.

HEAR HEAR!

Depending on who you talk to, we've spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $11-$14 TRILLION on the "war on poverty", yet 40+ years later we still have the same percentage of "poor"? We've clearly lost this war. What's the exit strategy? When can we expect a timetable for a pull out? I'd love to see those questions posed to these candidates in one of these "debates".

This whole notion of a "war on poverty" is nothing more than a tool, dreamed up FDR, then enhanced by Johnson, to stir up class and wealth envy and ultimately keep Liberal politico's entrenched in power. They use it every election cycle and every election cycle an amazing number of sheeple fall for it. Now, Huckabee is using it and he claims to be a Conservative?

In the immortal words of the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth:

Rich people get and stay rich by doing and repeating the behavior that makes them rich.

Poor people get and stay poor by doing and repeating the behavior that makes them poor.

It's really no more complicated than that.

Sorry, Huckster, more than enough of my tax money has been flushed down that rat hole......and we've got way too many illegals here in SE Tennessee for me to support someone who is so soft on border security......

That’s some high priest. I like his Psalms...

We’re sure in agreement on this one.

Thanks.
