I totally agree. K through 12 is free. You don't graduate from high school, it's your own fault. We KNOW why people in this country are poor, due to lack of education and/or desire to work hard. We do food baskets at christmas for the needy. Same people show up year after year. We all work hard gathering the food for 2 months, sorting it, hauling it, then have a benefit dance to pay for the perishables. All done WITHOUT government assistance of any kind. I'm wondering, why aren't the receivers of these baskets down here sorting and helping to organize this? But they can't even do that. We are doing it for them. Any baskets not picked up go to the Catholic church's food bank, which is run by them year round, NOT the government. I don't care how poor I would get and have been, I know how to cook from scratch, how to sew, how to grow vegetables. These same people who are so poor they go to food banks, always seem to have money for beer and cigarettes.
How very simplistic and inadequate an explanation for poverty and remediating it.
Really? She* is doing something in directly for the poor in her community.
*I think 2twsted4colorTV, i may be wrong. Sorry in advance if i am.
She is to be commended for her personal actions, which I should have acknowledge from the top. My apology. However, not enough Americans have her understanding of what needs to be done, and to many "Americans" basically say, 'screw the poor.'
