Poverty "focus groups"

Government speak for pretending to care what you have to say.

Here's a recent story on this subject from the Pomeroy Daily Sentinel.

If Mr Strickland really wanted to reduce poverty in Ohio, he'd propose lowering our taxes.

See previous posts here and here about our outrageous taxes.

Another idea would be to eliminate the so called minimum wage. If people want to work for a lower wage, why should we keep them from doing that? Everyone knows that the so called minimum wage creates unemployment. It also forces employers to buy machines rather than employ people because the minimum wage law prices low skilled workers out of the job market.
