(2,617 posts)...Welfare Deformed only put low income (mostly) women in lifelong poverty. This was cheered along by established Democrats who purposefully misunderstood (IMO) that poverty is an institute. Institutions are kept in place because they benefit someone. Here is the definition of an Institution from the Marriam Dictionary:
a significant practice, relationship, or organization in a society or culture the institution of marriage
also : something or someone firmly associated with a place or thing
Who does the poverty institute benefit? Unlike the haters of those in poverty, they refuse to acknowledge the truth. The Poverty Institute certainly does not the benefit the poor. The institution of poverty is kept in order to employ and include those in the upper classes. such as the legal system, medical, social services, housing, food, all of these are part of the Poverty Institute
In the 1980s a man in Venezuela stood on the top of the garbage mountains and told those people, that not only were they far more numerous, they were also losing all the resources of their country, which gave them away to the richest and other companies from foreign entities. He said if they all voted they would win and be able to benefit from those resources. So they did vote and won, stunning the country and the world who never even counted him as a real candidate.
He did turn out to be a kook, but he did inspire the least among his country to vote as a block and win. His name was Ugo Chavez. The point I am making here is that, if the Dems stopped hating and blaming the poor from whom they benefit, they would win in a landslide. And this is why they are so afraid of that part of the country and try to shut them up. They just won't admit to their own benefit from those in poverty and embrace this population.
Say or do whatever you like but the truth is this is the way Dems could win if they took off their blinders.
