Glad I get to be king for a day! First thing I'd do is understand how families have become successful economically in America and how families move from poverty to success that makes them more self-reliant and independent. Then, I'd ask people far smarter than myself if there is a way we can help to replicate this for the working poor of this generation.
At any rate...that is where I'd start.
Don't you think that process is happening for the most part or do you think most of the poor today will be poor 5 years from now ?
