No mention that voting Dem all these years has caused much of their hardship.
LBJ’s and the Democrats’ War on Poverty has destroyed every city, which were sold into the WOP by the democrat leaders in every city.

This War on Poverty was a new form of economic Slavery of black Americans living in the big cities, by the democrats.

The politicians in control of these cities have gotten rich while their cities became rat infested $hitholes with increased poverty for the citizens in these cities.

The War on Poverty Wasn’t A Failure — It Was A Catastrophe

I apply unconventional logic to economic issues.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has. If you devote 50 years and $21.5 trillion (in 4Q2013 dollars) to anything, and people are arguing about whether it was a success or a failure, then you can be sure that it was a failure.

Have you noticed that, 50+ years from its inception, no one is suggesting that the Apollo program was a failure? The Apollo program was an unchallenged success because it accomplished its stated goal: “…to land a man on the moon, and to return him safely to the earth.”

The stated goal of the War on Poverty, as enunciated by Lyndon Johnson on January 8, 1964, was, “…not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” Measured against this objective, the War on Poverty has not just been a failure, it has been a catastrophe. It was supposed to help America’s poor become self-sufficient, and it has made them dependent and dysfunctional.

Now, the faithful inner city voters for Democrat mayors, governors and congre$$its for decades are being abandoned as the illegals are now the #1 priority to the Democrats!

I respectfully disagree. From the Democrat standpoint, the War On Poverty has been a spectacular success. They have created a huge, reliable voting block dependent on them, their “vote-slaves”.

You are the wave-slave that works to maintain the vote-slave and the DC party ( pun intended).

Your children are debt-slaves, expected to pay for the 50-year party they were never invited to.
