You know the biggest irony of so called “champions of the poor”… I’m wondering how many of them actually lifted a finger.

To be clear, I’m not necessarily a champion of the poor in this country, who really aren’t that poor relative to the truly poor in some other countries. My help, in the form of money, goes outside this country.
My suggestion that we improve the environment for the “poor” in this country has more to do with the country as a whole than the poor themselves. If we could manage to turn welfare recipients and gang members into college graduates, the whole country would be better off.
