Paul Ryan’s State Of The Union Guests Undermine His Claim That Government Doesn’t Help Poverty

For his first State of the Union address in his new role as Speaker of the House, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has invited a group of guests aimed at demonstrating that developing local organizations, rather than relying on government, is the solution to the problem of poverty in America.
A ThinkProgress examination of the people Ryan has chosen to feature, however, shows that several have received significant government assistance for their nonprofits.
In a statement released Monday, Ryan announced that six “front line poverty fighters” would be among his guests for President Obama’s Tuesday address. “The answer to poverty isn’t the money in Washington,” he said. “The answer to poverty is entrepreneurs and innovators like these who are actually making a difference, community by community.”
But the people Ryan invited would seem to undermine his suggestion that government does not play an important role in reducing poverty.
i got something glaringly missing what he proposes is what he and the clan have made light of with Pres. isn't it community organizing???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
