I don't have an easy answer to this question. I'm just wondering what you think. We certainly have a fair number of educaiton & social welfare programs aimed at helping the poor.

I tend to believe America's foreign policies oppress the poor of other countries through various forms of economic exploitation more than our domestic policies oppress our own poor.
