1. La "Guerra contra la Pobreza" de LBJ y la Gran Sociedad.
Lyndon B. Johnson lanzó la "Guerra contra la Pobreza" como parte de la Gran Sociedad, implementando programas clave como Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start y Job Corps. Esta iniciativa logró una reducción significativa de la pobreza en la década de 1960, aunque algunos críticos argumentan que fue abandonada o mal gestionada posteriormente.
- Lbjs great society programs reduced poverty in america by 40!
- Lyndon johnson and the democratic party declared a war on poverty.
- Lbj declared a war on poverty and it worked, then reagan came along and saw an opportunity to make money off poverty.
- Lbj had a war on poverty that his own party just decided was more trouble than it was worth.
- Lbj launched the war on poverty. Trump launched the war on the poor.
- The great society took poverty from 22 percent in 1965 to 11 percent by 1972.
2. El Impacto de Ronald Reagan y el Cambio de Paradigma.
Ronald Reagan es identificado como el principal responsable del cambio económico y moral, promoviendo la economía de la oferta ("trickle-down") y la idea de que la pobreza es un "fallo moral". Sus políticas resultaron en recortes a programas sociales, aumento de la desigualdad y el inicio de la demonización de los beneficiarios de asistencia social.
- Ronald reagan started this bullshit. He widely implemented heritage foundation policies, started taxing ss, cut funding for ss, medicaid, food stamps, taxes on capital gains, taxes on the wealthy.
- Reagan and his trickle down economics bathing in someone elses used and filthy bath water. Ronnie turned the war on poverty into the war on the poor.
- Nearly 50 years later, were still living in the house that reagan builtin a politics that treats poverty as a moral failing and encourages white people to blame black people for it.
- Reaganomics, involved significant tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, alongside reduced domestic spending. The poverty rate increased in his first term, and critics argue the policies transferred hundreds of billions of dollars from the middle class to the rich. Just like under trump!
- Reagan was a vile creep who lied about his disdain for people and children who were poverty-stricken.
3. La Evolución hacia la "Guerra contra los Pobres".
La retórica política ha pasado de combatir la pobreza a atacar a las personas empobrecidas. Esta tendencia, iniciada por Reagan, fue continuada por Bill Clinton con la reforma de la asistencia social y exacerbada por Donald Trump, quien es acusado de desmantelar activamente los programas de apoyo vital.
- I remember when america was a country that would declare war on poverty instead of war on the poor.
- Lyndon announced a war on poverty. This administration has announced a war on the poor.
- Cuts to snap, medicaid -- lbj declared a war on poverty, trump has a declared a war on people in poverty.
- See also when bill clinton destroyed the existing welfare system, increasing poverty, much along the same vein as reagan.
- The war on poverty was implemented in a way that it became a war against poverty-stricken.
4. Precedentes Históricos: FDR y el New Deal.
Franklin D. Roosevelt y el New Deal son citados como el precedente más exitoso en la lucha contra la pobreza, estableciendo la seguridad social y sentando las bases para la clase media estadounidense, un modelo que los críticos de las políticas neoliberales buscan revivir.
- Fdr new deal lifted miliions out of dire poverty especially americas seniors.
- The new deal lifted millions out of poverty and built the greatest middle class in history.
- Fdr gave us the new deal and hope in the depths of the depression. Lbj had the great society with its war on poverty and expanded voting rights.
