Poor Dialogue

Ever since he was tapped as Mitt Romney’s vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan has been trying to start a conversation among Republicans about poverty. As a candidate in 2012 he held an event in Cleveland with ministers to explore the roots of poverty but didn’t hold any more, in part because the Romney campaign wanted his focus elsewhere. After the campaign, he launched a low-key multicity tour of poor neighborhoods with the guidance of Robert Woodson, founder and president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise. It became the backbone of his recent book The Way Forward. The people Ryan met became the characters in a seven-part documentary called Comeback.
