Bill O'Reilly: True Poverty is Being Driven by Personal Behavior

This week marks the 50th anniversary of LBJ's War on Poverty. Has it been successful? Hardly.

"No matter how much money the government spends, poverty will not change until personal behavior does," O'Reilly argued. "Addictive behavior, laziness and apathy all override social justice programs."


You can see the numbers O'Reilly cited from the Heritage Foundation, here.
