Answer:
When President Lyndon Johnson announced his war on poverty, the center piece of his Great Society, he stood before the cameras on the front porch of a poor Appalachian man and his 6 children.
Thirty years later, all the children had moved away in search of economic opportunity and the same old man lived in the same shack - within view of the multi-million dollar highway that rolled through the sparsely populated countryside.
Government directed programs seem always to help the wealthiest and best-connected individuals become wealthier and more powerful and do little to resolve the conditions that were used to justify their creation and funding.
Socialism is Capitalism for the few with other people's money.
