A war on poverty is just as unintelligent as a war on terrorism, yet liberals can’t seem to make the connection.
I think most liberals are intelligent enough to have figured this out on their own. As far as I can tell, most of them aren't Communists.
I wouldn't call universal healthcare, universal education, and a social safety net a war on poverty. Indeed, from the perspective of an employer, a happy, healthy, and educated pool of prospective employees is only a good thing.
