RE: BLEAH

On the note of my previous post, let's think about it folks.

NYS has some extremely wealthy denziens. I know what law firms there pay.

Their taxes are extremely high.

They have a huge welfare state.

YET, they have the greatest disparity between rich and poor.

Doesn't this say something pretty significant about the ability of government to actually bring people out of poverty? For that matter, shouldn't fostering self-sufficiency among the impoverished be the purpose of any welfare state related program?

We redesigned the federal system so that it would be a "welfare to work" system, did we not?
