Tanner proposes a two-pronged approach to release regulation

The 1996 Welfare Reform Act was the most important change in federal welfare policy in 30 years, but in Poverty Of Welfare, Michael Tanner ably argues that we still have a long way to go. Millions are still dependent on welfare, and Tanner proposes a two-pronged approach to release regulation and taxation on the economy and use private charities to aid the needy. Poverty Of Welfare is an important survey of how to continue to revamp the welfare mentality and system.
