Frame it in two different ways?? This is just as tone deaf as Irvine’s response.
NONE of these things lift anyone out of poverty. No PROGRAM can do that. I have been poor, I have been working poor, I have been on government assistance. Half of these things aren’t even dealing with the topic, FDIC, really? Read the question again before Googling “Democrat Policies that lifted people out of poverty “.
The Democratic plan for government assistance is to get votes. If you can make more money being unemployed than working (which is what Obama’s plan was huge on, and is still that way to a certain degree), then many will choose not to work . If you incentivize having children out of wedlock, and make single moms get a raise with each child they have, and , oh, but if they’re married or Dad lives at home, no money for you, that’s NOT lifting people out of poverty, but exacerbating it. Why do you think states who’ve recently adopted stricter welfare guidelines have seen more people get off of food stamps and go to work? Because it works.
Think all you want that the government assistance is designed to do anything but keep people poor( which it has done for over 50 years—see all Democrat run cities that I had mentioned a few months ago), then you’re just too brainwashed to look at reality.
There is NOT a finite amount of wealth in the world. Wealth can be created, that’s what free market capitalism does. And you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it , makes no sense. So seizing money from “rich “ people and giving it to poor people, does NOT create a healthy economy.
Incentivize people to work hard, get off of government assistance and live their dreams. Nothing is guaranteed, but the opportunity, which yes, EVERYONE ALREADY HAS. Get rid of the Democrats victim mentality that they like to push on people who are not oppressed by anyone
Sweet Jesus you’re stupid. Almost every single one of these programs is designed to reduce poverty and keep people who are able, working. Again, you couldn’t be more drastically wrong.
