"Think about it. Would you invest your money in a business located in a high crime rate area, or would you go to where you, your money and your family are safer. Exactly. The only jobs left where crime is high are poor ones."
Well, Lucy...how do you 'splain the fact that Clinton's HQs are in Harlem? Kinda shoots that theory down when our A-Number One Criminal sets up shop there, LOL!
I don't buy that crime alone is the reason for poverty. It's a combination of factors including lack of motivation, lack of educational opportunities, drug and/or alcohol problems, poor parenting, stupid choices about spending what income you do have, etc. It would be nice to put it in a box and tie it all up with a pretty ribbon, but I don't see it as that easy. And throwing money at poverty when there's NO accountability has never, ever worked.
As for Oxfam...they've always been scammers, and I'm totally losing my faith in sending cash to ANY large, organized aid group. I keep my charitable dollars within my own community these days. If I can help someone closer to home, I'm doing my share. 100 million raised so far to benefit this disaster. I'm waiting 'til later to see what they need after the dust settles, then I'll work through my church to help out. I work for a seed company, so I'm thinking I will find a way to get seed to farmers and home gardeners.
Another reason to stear clear of Oxfam? It's been posted as THE BEST PLACE to send in your donations for this disaster on all the liberal boards. 'Nuf said.
Because, "Ricky", Clinton's office is not a business and he has Secret Service protection. Do you really think that moron would set up shop in Harlem without the SS? LOL? I don't see your humor!
..it's a combination of factors including lack of motivation, lack of educational opportunities, drug and/or alcohol problems, poor parenting, stupid choices about spending what income you do have, etc.
All of the situations you name can be considered criminal. Is the lack of a decent education system and the presence of municipal corruption crimes? Are drugs crime? What else do you call it? Jus' dems dumb bad luck!
'Nuf said! LOL! Yuk, Yuk, Yuk!
