Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: ''Let Santorum and Romney duke it out for who will cut taxes on the wealthy the most and shred the public services everyone else depends on.

And if we look closely enough, we ll have to conclude that poverty is not, after all, a cultural aberration or a character flaw. Poverty is a shortage of money.''
