      <![CDATA[@Bart: We can start by being honest. We have hardly spent "trillions" on the poor.<br>
<br>
Why don't we look at the policies from 1945 - 1973, you know, when we had a growing, robust middle-class.

      <![CDATA[One of the biggest problems in this debate is the validity of both sides' arguments.<br>
<br>
The system as is is not working to raise anybody out of poverty. AND Raising the minimum wage isn't going to lift more than a few people out of poverty, and then not for very long.<br>
<br>
Continuing the fight a failed "War on Poverty" with the same weapons we've been using will result in more failed battles.<br>
<br>
Who are the impoverished, for the most part?

      <![CDATA[The point is the the federal government has been giving trillions of dollars to 'the poor' for decades and we still have more poor people that ever - what's wrong with this? What else should we do?

      <![CDATA[Exactly, Seth; in fact, at the height of the Vietman War under LBJ, we were spending in three weeks on Vietnam what we were spending on one year on all of the Great Society programs combined. And under Reagan, aid to cities fell 59%, but the wealthiest 1% got 55% of Reagan's tax cuts; the overall share of the pie for that lucky 1% doubled in eight years; the only commodity to fall in price in the 80s was cocaine . . .
