excerpt from an article by Mark Alexander of the Patriot Post
The Democrat Party has both seeded and institutionalized poverty over the last half-century.Democrats are, simultaneously, the historical author and political beneficiary of keeping poor people in bondage to the welfare state — the most enduring racial exploitation architecture in America. As Thomas Sowell observed: “Many successful political careers have been built on giving blacks ‘favors’ that look good on the surface but do lasting damage in the long run. One of these ‘favors’ was the welfare state. A vastly expanded welfare state in the 1960s destroyed the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and generations of racial oppression.”
