As I said as early as first grade teach them this:
- Graduate HS
- Get a job
- Don't become a single parent.
Say it 100x a year every year. Once you become a single parent at 16, you drop out of school, don't get a job and live via the State. Cycle continues from generation to generation and becomes part of the culture. Break the cycle. Stop talking about racism and all that crap. Even if I am the biggest racist of all time I have zero say over what some kid does in say Pensacola Florida. As long as he/she graduates, gets a job and does not become a single parent they will be just fine. Turn to capitalism and all your ills will be solved. Socialism and social programs a bane to society. Because of social security, people are saving less and are having fewer kids. In the past people had to save to survive post retirement and had more kids so they could help. Now people spend frivolously and rely on the Gov't to bail them out all while whining insurance is too expensive. Since ACA only the insurance company profits have benefited. People have not. Check out the profits of the biggest firms before and after ACA. Those monies didn't go to the people they went to the insurance companies who are some of the biggest lobbyings for the Dems.
#2 and #1 can be difficult. I personally knew people who had to drop out to support their family. And you need a good education to get a job. My point was that EDUCATION FOR LOW INCOME STUDENTS SUCKS. If you send a kid to a bad school, they will think that their education does not matter, and the chances of dropping out are increased dramatically. The evidence supports this. Yes, if you work hard enough, you will get out. But it is MUCH harder than if you start from the top. That is unfair. Education is the one thing that EVERYONE deserves.
I was never talking about racism. Yes, some people abuse the system. It needs tweaking. But we can't leave these people out to die.
Liberal/Socialist policies have failed for 40 years. We can both agree. Lets give capitalism a try. I disagree that the education sucks. Teach for America sends its very best to these schools. Parents are the ones who suck. We have Metco in our town and the kids with two parents are the ones who are fine, those with one are miscreants and our school system is one of the best in the country.
Give capitalism a chance.
What? So Reagan and Bush never happened? I am confused as to your first point. And my best guess is that you went to a wealthy school. More power to you. I can tell you firsthand that the opposite SUCKS. If you live in a rich neighborhood, you are going to have misconceptions.
Bush was a terrible president. I am too young to remember Ronny. I went to a decent school, yes. My niece teaches for Teach for America. She went to New Orleans and she is more left than you. She told me that the parents make 100% the difference. She had all the tools to teach and those with strong parents were the best students. She did that role for three years before moving back to Boston.
If the family foundation is strong then the students will be true students. Again, please give capitalism a chance. I have stated this on numerous occasions here. Bush was a terrible president and I did not vote for him btw.
I am a true independent. I also leaned left until the Dem party was overrun by uneducated buffoons such as Booker, Warren and Sanders. Who are anti capitalism and pro socialism. Socialist policies do not work.
You say give capitalism a chance yet your entire post has nothing to do with that. Your last post:
Liberal/Socialist policies have failed for 40 years. We can both agree. Lets give capitalism a try.
That would imply that Reagan and Bush never happened. Take your argument, and reverse it. He HAVE given capitalism a chance.
Again, you don't understand these issues. I expect more from you, Boris.
Trump is the first capitalist president we have had in my lifetime. I take it back let's give the first businessman president a chance. Clinton, Bush, Obama were bad presidents. Well Clinton was OK.
I understand a lot more than you think, big guy.
So Bush was a socialist? I agree with your second point but BUISINESS=CORRUPTION.
You understand nothing about poverty. You never experienced it.
