February 1st, 2018FreeToChooseNetwork0 Comments

Having both spent many years in the developing world working on poverty issues, Phil Harvey and I found our interests turning to poverty in our own country. Despite the fact that the United States leads the developing world in so many ways, 15% of Americans still live in poverty. How could this be?, we wondered, and we decided to investigate. We turned to the programs in place to help the poor – or vast, trillion-dollar-a-year welfare entitlement system – to find answers. We were informed also by America’s founding documents. Our own Declaration of Independence tells us we are entitled to pursue happiness. …
