Court House - Fifty years ago, Democrats declared a war on poverty. We have just as many poor people today as we did then. Think Harlem. Think Watts. Think Detroit. Long ago, we should have considered the loss of billions of dollars that could have gone to things productive. Handouts to the poor are futile. Simply put, the welfare state does not work.
