social democracy includes solving simple poverty; the left has solutions.
"The left has solutions." ? No, the left does not have solutions, the left has half assed ideas that never actually work. The left started the war on poverty decades , and trillions of dollars ago, and has not lowered poverty one iota.
We have a better plan, now.
A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed in our at-will employment States is much more cost effective than Any form of means tested welfare.
We could be lowering our tax burden and improving our economy at the same time since,
Grow our Economy, we Must.
