Democrats do not care about the Poor

[JoeRider]

Again, with de-institutionalization, project housing, welfare programs, it appears that Democrats just want to keep poor and blacks so dysfunctional that they can't better themselves. Taxing the rich is not going to solve the inner city problems.

Newsflash, dude - neither do the Republicans.

Yea, but the Republicans don't make it worst for the poor either. Can you say Detroit! Can you say Cabrini–Green in Chicago that averaged a murder a day.

Why They Built the Pruitt-Igoe Project

St. Louis's Pruitt-Igoe housing project is arguably the most infamous public housing project ever built in the United States. A product of the postwar federal public-housing program, this mammoth high-rise development was completed in 1956.

Only a few years later, disrepair, vandalism, and crime plagued Pruitt-Igoe. The project's recreational galleries and skip-stop elevators, once heralded as architectural innovations, had become nuisances and danger zones. Large numbers of vacancies indicated that even poor people preferred to live anywhere but Pruitt-Igoe. In 1972, after spending more than $5 million in vain to cure the problems at Pruitt-Igoe, the St. Louis Housing Authority, in a highly publicized event, demolished three of the high-rise buildings. A year later, in concert with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, it declared Pruitt-Igoe unsalvageable and razed the remaining buildings.

Pruitt-Igoe has lived on symbolically as an icon of failure. Liberals perceive it as exemplifying the government's appalling treatment of the poor. Architectural critics cite it as proof of the failure of high-rise public housing for families with children. One critic even asserted that its destruction signaled the end of the modern style of architecture.

It seems a bit peculiar to differentiate the "poor and blacks" as in the poor white folk and all black people are thereby equal, and of course "dysfunctional" too per Joe Rider.

If you were not so dirty racist then you might then see why the Democratic Party is offering a better world, while the Republicans are pushing for more unjust supremacy over the American people.

Nobody (except JoeRider) as in no Democrat claims that taxing the rich is intended to solve inner city problems.

The reason for taxing the rich is to make the taxing more fair and equitable, also it is meant to decrease the National debt and the budget over spending, and it is wanted to make right the never ending legacy of the Bush era tax breaks for the very rich and the out of control spending by the last Bush administration.

You (JoeRider) are the one trying to twist the reasoning into your own perverted idea, as shown in the quoted words above.

That is referring to a housing project of 55 years ago, and it was built during the "Jim Crow" years too.

And I do not see how you can say "they" the Democrats built it since it was planned and built over many years, and it was an attempt to corral the black people so there is little doubt as to why they trashed it.

Also 1956 was the re-election year for President Eisenhower the Republican, meaning it was already a 4 year Republican administration and another 4 years starting up in that year 1956.

We know full well why they built that project.

I'll give you that - Democrats do seem to make poverty situations worse because they're the biggest nannies and create dependency.

The Democrats want to make poverty worse by giving the poor food and housing and medical care and that you see as worse.

The Republicans want to make more pain and misery and call that as righteous when it is barbaric.

The Republicans want to cut off or cut down basic assistance like food and housing to the poorest of Americans, including that the Republicans want to deny the simplest basic health care to at least 30 million Americans, and probably twice that many who have inadequate health care.

They want to cut off Social Security while spending extra billions onto the military war machine.

The Republicans do not want to be nannies to the needy, as they want to be the cruel task masters in servitude for the very wealthiest Americans.

Perhaps it is that you are simply like most Republicans as you have never had a truly hard day in your entire life, and you can only view the rest of humanity through your own spoiled and pampered life.

If you ever went hungry then you might appreciate some food, or if you ever went homeless then you might appreciate housing, or have a medical need unfilled.

Apparently richer and privileged people do not have the ability to have compassion or empathy with anything or anyone outside of your own selfish self.

Looks that way to me.

Maybe she never wanted to accept a handout from Uncle Sugar and decided to get her poop in a group on her own.

I have no problem giving someone a hand up but I refuse to give hand outs.
