After more than 50 years, the outdated government-dependency approach to fighting poverty has shown its limits, having raised the living standards of the poor but failed to expand self-sufficiency through work as President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty envisioned. This unsatisfactory victory is why President Trump championed a new approach to fighting poverty through the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s Opportunity Zones provision, which is a major policy success that he will speak about on Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Instead of raising taxes and discouraging economic activity, Opportunity Zones provide targeted tax cuts to spur development and job creation in struggling communities.
