His administration will create a new index of poverty, one which slides upwards as all income increases. This guarantees “poverty” will always be with us. This act of will creates an eternal class of the “poor” from which there can be no relief.

Well, how are you going to continue government forever unless you do stuff like re-write the rules of “poverty” and continue to foster belief in permanent victimhood ?

Today’s democrats/progressives are invested in the notion of there being a permanent underclass. They’re completely dependent on continuing class warfare and identity politics.

This despite factual and real improvements in peoples’ economic lives in America across the board.

I watched self-indulgent, self-serving Teddy Kennedy scream about the poverty of “the other” for decades.

It was his permanent shtick

Self-respecting people of whatever current economic circumstances should reject such holier-than-thou élitist caretakers.
