The war on poverty will never yield results as long as thr rich have as much power in Washington as they do.

Corporations are making all-time high profits, yet wages have actually gone down.
Actually that is not completely true, wages have gone down for middle class YET keep skyrocketing for the richest.

The only way for the war on poverty to yield results is if election reform where both parties get the same amount to campaign on and no political contributions are allowed.

Make the rich focus on making money through good business practices again rather than through lobbying Congress to pass legislation that will benefit them more than anyone.
