In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
Sixty years ago, the “War on Poverty” was declared, with direct government intervention expected to eliminate poverty under the beneficent help of the government. It didn’t turn out like they had hoped. Let us look back to the beginning of that “War” with William F. Buckley, Jr. and Michael Harrington debating the government intervention against poverty.
Until next Friday.
