Help the poor?
You want to help the poor? Maybe we could start by overhauling our public schools. Make teachers personally accountable for results. Go back to teaching kids how to actually read. Take away their calculators and make them do math the old fashsioned way. Reward kids for their hard work. Stop being politically correct with worrying so much about self esteem! Once these kids have learned the basics, they can move on to college. Maybe after getting a good education, these kids can get the high tech, good paying jobs in this country. Outsourcing might no longer be needed. Face it, the job market is changing. Old technology is fading away. In my simple little world, it boils down to personable responsibility.
Yes, we can give the poor all the special programs and help in the world. It is how the poor deal with this help that matters. Maybe we could offer them a life skills course. Just my opinion...
