Mr Ryan needs it pointed out to him that the most impoverished areas of the country are southern rural areas.
Bottom poorest states:
40Tennessee
41South Carolina
42Arizona
43West Virginia
44Oklahoma
45Arkansas
46Texas
47Alabama
48New Mexico
49Louisiana
50Mississippi
That's absolutely true. But, living here in Miss, I'm of the opinion that it is easier for a kid (white or black or whatever) to escape poverty if he's from a rural area, as opposed to the inner city of Jackson or one of the more or less balkanized ghettos on the Gulf Coast (though they may have been washed away by Katrina, I don't go down there much since the strom)
So, I give Ryan a pass for at least meaning well.
Perhaps, CC, you should stop playing the race card. It's old. When you have no arguments to make, you just make a thread calling someone racist. How very unimaginative.
You're right I'll try to have more imagination like your post
Ryan didn't mention any particular 'race.'
Generally people who are in poverty are that way because of circumstance.
"Circumstance" is kind of broad. What exactly do you mean?
the facts are your fucking party cant get many of these votes huh?
That's what happens with the culture that's been established in the inner cities. Democrats have spent decades destroying the school systems there and hitting them with propaganda. And There are alot of dumb Republicans helping them out.
All Americans would be far better off without the government running our lives. But we can't even convince a whole political party to support that agenda.

"Broadly" speaking.
Generally people are born into poverty. And many stay there.
Same with wealth.
poverty is poverty and blaming black people for being poor and excusong white poverty as just a poverty problem is horseshit
I blame poor people for being poor. It doesn't matter what color their skin is, moron. Anyone who works steadily, doesn't have children out of wedlock and stays married will not be poor. Poverty is the result of personal choices. It's as simple as that.
No it's not.
I just gave a solution, I notice you ignored that.
It's a "non" solution.
It's one that makes no sense either.
Generally people who are in poverty are that way because of circumstance.
And the way to deal with that is to change the circumstance is some very meaningful way.
Whether that be through education and/or other forms assistance.
In some cases, where there are disabilities, our society should be able and willing to provide a baseline in terms of what is needed to live.
I don't really get the problem with that.
The majority of people really do want to work and contribute.
the majority want to work; unfortunately the Left panders much to the few that dont; and portrays them as the willing others.

Of course it is. Nothing could be more obvious. They guy who decides to drink all night on a weekend rather than go to bed at a decent hour has made a personal choice that leads directly to failure and a lower income.
Paul Ryan insists his inarticulate comments about inner city men were not about race
Paul Ryan insists his ?inarticulate? comments about ?inner city? men were not about race | The Raw Story
Paul Ryan attempted to walk back Wednesdays comment in which described a culture in our inner cities in particular of men not working, and just generations of men not even thinking about working and learning the value and culture of work.
In a statement issued to ThinkProgress, Ryan insisted that his comment wasnt a thinly veiled racial attack, as Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, characterized it.
It is clear that I was inarticulate about the point I was trying to make, Ryan said in the statement. I was not implicating the culture of one communitybut of society as a whole. We have allowed our society to isolate or quarantine the poor rather than integrate people into our communities. The predictable result has been multi-generational poverty and little opportunity. I also believe the governments response has inadvertently created a poverty trap that builds barriers to work.
Ryan told a blogger from Crew of 42 that his initial comments had nothing to do whatsoever with race.
See?
When Paul talks about the "culture" of the citizens in the "inner city" he didnt mean "culture" or "inner city". What he really meant was everyone everywhere and just failed to "articulate" it correctly.
Good job GOP...Maybe you can win an election without blacks. Just stop defending shit like this and asking why you arent an attractive option for blacks.
Typically when you talk down to people....studies have shown they dont really appreciate it

The biggest cuts in the Ryan budget were cuts to programs like Medicaid. How does making a poor person poorer break the cycle of poverty?

...starvation builds character.
Ryan callled it a 'real problem that has to be dealt with'.
Okay, so how are you going to deal with it?
...cut 'inner city' residents off government assistance, so they'll have to go find jobs that don't exist?
