In another thread on poverty republicans or conservatives kept saying that the war on poverty "hasnt worked".
When asked what they thought the goal of the war on poverty was many stated the usual "Liberals said..." followed by impossible things never said by anyone.
Of course if you believe the war on poverty was supposed to make everyone rich, I have bad news for you.
If you believed the war on poverty was supposed to end poor people existing, no wonder you think it "failed"
If you thought that the war on poverty meant everyone would live like Mr Burns from the Simpsons, I understand your frustration.
So, Why Do Republicans Pretend the War on Poverty was supposed to END POVERTY?
Well, stupid, perhaps it's because LBJ in his 1964 State of the Union address said, "Our aim is not only to relieve the symptoms of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it."
So, why do dipshit lefties pretend the war on poverty wasn't supposed to end poverty?
