The link below is worth a look. Walter Williams discusses how it could be that America has spent trillions to help the poor since Lyndon Johnson declared a "War on Poverty" in the 1960's, yet poverty rates are about the same today. He also talks about the debilitating effects of minimum wage laws. It is astounding that a very high percentage of Americans support minimum wage laws. People cling to that belief no matter how much data to the contrary confronts them.
