The point of this thread was to the expose the hypocrisy of liberals who claim to care the most about the poor but actually do the least to help them. That is not trolling......it is delivering raw, unfiltered truth to uneducated rubes such as yourself. I apologize if it makes you uncomfortable.
As for policies that help the poor, the best way to help a poor person is not through charity or government welfare. The best way to actually help a poor person is to give them a job. And here in the U.S, red states (i.e. conservative states) are the ones that do the best at creating jobs. That is why there is so much population growth in the south.........Americans are packing up and leaving the North and Midwest and migrating to where the jobs are in states like Texas, Georgia, Carolinas, Utah, etc
