This is how I make my kids into Conservatives - and it works the first time I do it. I tell them they can earn an allowance with some chores. If it's Conservative day when they finish the job they keep the money they earned. On Liberal day however when they finish the job I take the money back and tell them it must be given instead to the ones who didn't help with the chores.
No. You told us what Republicans will not do. Who cares about the Democrats? Your concern for them in this discussion is admirable and quite telling, but clearly off topic.
The question wasn't how do the parties differ in their approach to the poor, in fact, the question and thread topic have nothing to do with the Democrats at all.
It's pretty simple.
What do you believe is the Republican plan to help the poor?
Do you want to just make it easy and tell us what you want to hear?
My god...I didn't know a person could ignore 10 pages of answers and still claim no one has answered the original question like this.
"As long as black people attend the lousy public schools in the hood managed by Democrats and teacher’s unions, listen to rap music created by Hollywood and New York liberals that steals the souls of their young listeners, have an overwhelming out-of-wedlock birthrate that makes a government social worker drool, there will be no solutions offered from people like Julian Bond. That makes him the Democrats’ puppet, parrot, and poverty pimp… all in one." http://www.black-and-right.com/2005/...-poverty-pimp/
Choosing to not do something harmful is in fact a deliberate action.
True. You make a good point. Still, you've deferred from the directness of the question, surely you have a belief of what the Republican plan is to help the poor, or perhaps you don't because -
a. You haven't pondered it directly.
b. You don't recall it as a platform with a published indication one way or another.
c. Something I haven't guessed and/or, you haven't shared.
Otherwise, the answer is fairly straightforward, if it's the truth it is what it is after-all.

Rather than answer the thread topic, you prefer to defer, and then offer us your thoughts on the Democrats and black people?
This is very odd behavior.
Perhaps you're unaware of the racial makeup of the word Poor?
What do you believe is the Republican plan to help the poor?
So every six months or so, our elected representatives in the congress and senate need to write new social programs into law and spend more tax payer money to "help the poor"?
What more do we need to do anyway? We have been fighting the war against poverty since the 1940s.
We could give the poor free access to a free education, like public K-12 schools.
We could offer grants specifically to those schools with a high precentage of poor children. Title I, Part A Program
We could have government grants to a free college education.
We could provide the poor with free food, like Food Stamps and WIC.
We could provide all Americans with the education and tools they need to succeed in life, and provide safety nets like those above, to help assist those Americans who need a little more aid and assistance.
Or we could act like nothing is being done to "help the poor" and start ignorant threads like this one.

Poor kids. Kids deserve better. There are a lot of holes in that laughable lesson. They'll likely fill in the blanks themselves when they become older and more enlightened. They'll then be Democrats.

I'm not certain what more could be done.
What's the plan? Clearly you believe it isn't working, yet you point the partisan finger clueless to the blueprint and proclaim the topic for discussion ignorant. Telling.
