War on Poverty started in 1964
Musings on the not-so-invisible hand of the market...
You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor."**********
We still have the poor, and they only demand more. Still waiting for the "Thank you's."

...they will come...
-- POVIRNITUK, Que. -- Here's what $588,000 will buy you in Nunavik: a no-frills home with two small bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. No basement, no second storey.For anybody who's interested... at maximum rent that works out to 7 years of arrears... apiece.
The province now pays about $3,094 a month for each unit to cover maintenance, utilities and other expenses. Eligible Nunivak families get the semi-furnished homes with heat and electricity for a maximum rent of $358 a month.
Some of the new social housing units, built just two years ago, already need major repairs. They have broken windows, damaged walls and are in general disrepair.
The province recently also started eviction procedures against 80 Inuit renters who owe on average $30,000 in unpaid rent.

Indeed, everything the government touches turns to lead, except the Revenue agency. Just as true here as in the States.

hmmmm... the tax people take half of everybody's income... and a cut of just about every retail transaction in the country.
and we still run a deficit.
something's definitely broken.

Ya ...the problem is too many parasites, and not enough hosts.!
Cut back the number of beaurotwats then cut the pensions and salaries.
The United Way campaign came to our office, and said the need for your money is greater than ever.
So does that mean, I asked, what you've been doing isn't working?
