In a column on the Huffington Post, Leo Hindery, Jr., a former CEO, writes that 100 million people in America are at or below the official poverty line, which itself is an absurd, unrealistic measure.
I agree that poverty eradication should be a, if not the, top priority in this country. But how? I, for one, don’t think the government can do this (partly because even Congress’s half-hearted efforts at a health care bill are lambasted as “socialist” by the reactionary right).
If you think it can, I’d like to hear from you.
