While conveying the existence of a poverty problem and solutions to said problem, Edelman inadvertently picks a side on the issue. That side being liberal. By failing to back up his proposed solutions with supporting evidence this essay loses its objective edge. Without offering evidence as to why his claims are correct Edelman is only convincing those who already believe as he does. So while preaching to the choir sounds and feels nice it does nothing to further his cause. Having more backing for his claims would strengthen his argument and persuade those who are neutral and possibly objective thinkers with an opposing opinion. Edelman seems to have written a political essay caught somewhere between informative and persuasive utilizing a pathos
