We did, remember? We declared the War on Poverty during Johnson's
administration in the 1960's. After spending trillions on attempting
to eradicate poverty through well-intentioned programs, we have made
no progress whatsoever.

Some people might think this calls for questioning the effectiveness
of the approach, but far be it from me to draw any conclusions.
