Imagining that the results of a Tweedle Dee vs. Tweedle Dum election
will materially reduce poverty may be the ultimate copout. Your party
is as impotent and corrupt as the party you oppose, to put it bluntly.
There are some problems that government cannot solve, and poverty is
on that list. Some of the communist and socialist governments
originally organized to eliminate poverty only succeeded in fostering
record amounts of it. The Republicans can't fix it. The Democrats
can't fix it. The Communists and Socialists can't fix it. As a society
we *can* fix it, but not through government action. Therefore the
party in power at any given moment is a fairly meaningless factor when
considering the problem of poverty.
