[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poverty rate was 22% in 1960, and it was much worse for black people.  Most black people were poor before 1960.   Now most black people are middle class.   Social Security keeps up to half of all seniors out of poverty.

The initiatives will never be 100% successful because we have a democracy, where politicians battle about these types of policies.  Historically, conservatives have fought anti-poverty programs tooth and nail.  That, by definition, will cut effectiveness.   And that's evident in the South, where poverty rates are by far the highest.  The Bible Belt.

What would poverty look like without governmental redistribution of wealth?  More like it does in developing countries.   [/quote]
