If the GOP is so good at ending poverty, then explain Appalachia. Or even Red States.

They would not be underfunded if not for Obama's war on coal.

Automation, greenhouse gases and a dwindling market. This is why coal is failing. Obama is just a scapegoat.

I live in coal country and I have seen coal jobs disappear long before Obama became president. And when the jobs dried up, so did the tax base.

Yeah, that why after Obama's rules went away the coal mines are reopening and doing better. Do try to keep up. Educating liberals is becoming a full time job for me and I just retired from teaching.

Precisely how many more miners are working today?

And coal jobs? Trump wants to take away health care and provide jobs by slapping a shovel in folk's hands. He wants to eliminate the EPA while we have to live beside impoundment reservoirs.

With leadership like that, who needs enemies?

Trump gave people a choice
...

Yeah. Die in a mine or die from the pollution. And do it uninsured.

Why would they not have insurance?

How do you quantify that? Do you add up all the schools reaching English as a second language and then divide that by the number of under funded schools in rural West Virginia?

It's a choice, we can't save you from bad personal choices in life..

Pay for your own health care

It will also beg the question of what you consider “success”

That is easy enough:

• No debt or minimal debt

• Minimal crime

• Low unemployment

• Low taxes

• Maximum liberty

• No dilapidated roads or buildings

Excellent, so which cities would you point to as an example of how GOP leadership has proven success

 

[Andylusion]

Republicans, even at the USMB, constantly attack Democrats over poverty.

But look at where the bulk of the poor in the United States live. In Appalachia. The largest depressed area in the United States covering 13 Red States.

Study: Infant mortality up, life expectancy down in Appalachia

The Cycle of Poverty in Appalachia Continues

A View From Appalachia: Living Below The Poverty Line

It was Appalachia that put Trump over the top.
Ironically, it's been Democrats in Blue States who have actually benefited the most from Trump's policies.

If the Republican base is so lost in poverty, why do Republicans believe they know the way out of poverty?

Politicians can't end poverty, but they can surely create poverty.

Politician can't force people to learn something of market value, and then provide them jobs for those skills. Politicians don't create jobs, or force people to educate themselves.

Only people can choose to learn something of value. Only business owners can create jobs.

So neither party can "end poverty". That is a ridiculous and stupid argument to even make.

No one can stop poverty in Appalachia.

Now all that said, politicians can certainly create poverty. That's easy to do.

Increase taxes. Increase regulations. Foster a support of criminality, and attack law enforcement. Attack and resent business owners that create jobs. Drive business out with "head taxes on Amazon", and reduce profitability of business with higher minimum wage laws. Offer public assistance so that people don't feel motivated to improve their own lives.

All of these things politicians can do, that will increase poverty and reduce economic growth.

Only 14 cities out of the top 50 in terms of populations have Republican mayors. That's 28% for those of you poor at math.

Your definition of success is totally arbitrary, don't you think?

Yeah, that’s why I asked Patriot to state what he defines as success which he responded to. You having a hard time keeping up Troy?

It is amazing how you are incapable of being honest about anything. MaObama and the Dumbocrats launched a war on coal. A major war on coal. And they didn’t do it because they give a fuck about the environment. They did it because it lined the pockets of their friends, their donors, and themselves via the “green energy” sector.

 

[P@triot]

Yeah. Die in a mine or die from the pollution.

 

[P@triot]

Yeah. Die in a mine or die from the pollution.

If I have to listen to one more idiot progressive try to elicit an emotional response from people to cover up their complete lack of logic and reason, my head might explode.

All you people do is cry “people are dying”. That our “but...but....the children” even though you idiots love abortion. Nobody is “dying” and the children are just fine. You can’t defend your failed policies.

Well I have quite a few. But I suspect you will just declare they are “not major”.

You still waiting for the names of those cities? I know I am.

I see you're back to spamming anti GOP and Trump strings, R-Derp! Is it slowly dawning on even you that the Democrats are in deep shit with the coming election? That they might not pick up seats at all but might lose them instead?

Oh...my apologies gentlemen. I missed Slade3200 previous post somehow. Here is a list for you:

Colorado Springs, Colorado
