Anti-Climacus

LINK: I agree with Matthew Yglesias on the importance of anti-poverty initiatives within the Democratic Party, in large part because I think everyone should support them. I don't know that an extra government program (or whatever) is automatically the best solution to poverty, nor do I necessarily believe it can be entirely done away with. Nevertheless, I'd like to meet the cold-hearted jerk who doesn't think that taking care of the poor should be a social priority in this country.
