Hey Dems: Why Are There Still Poor People In America?

For forty years the Democrats controlled Congress. Many of those years there was a Democrat president. Bill after bill after bill was passed to "fix" poverty in this country. Would some intelligent Democrat please tell me why poverty hasn't been affected by all of that legislation and why we still have poor people in this country?

Back in August Glenn Beck had a great article on CNN's web site. I put the list here but you will have to link there to read all of the text.

Hey Dems - what about the American dream? Whose dream are you promoting? Your own? If you hate poverty so much why haven't you done something about it? Don't tell me you have when the level of poverty in this country has remained virtually unchanged over the past 40 years.

You need to get your dog and pony show out of the way and let conservatives show you how to eradicate poverty.
