Making Sure the Poor Are Always With Us

Could you design a public policy that in both good times and bad, under economic growth or recession, with unemployment rates high or low - in fact, under any possible economic scenario - could you design a policy that guarantees that an alarming number of our fellow citizens lived in poverty?

What could motivate such a hopeless and self-defeating approach to ministering to the poor? And how would you react if you came to understand that the folks who promulgate this approach are the very people most fervently devoted to fighting the War on Poverty?

Policies designed to help the poor are actually discouraging the poor from bettering their circumstances says Bill Frezza.
