I once had a young hispanic boy show up at my door asking for money for an after school program to keep him off drugs and out of gangs. He looked shocked when I looked at him and said "Can't you do that on your own"? Never dawned on him at all.
Nope, he's been indoctrinated to believe that the "gubmint" will take care of everything. I see little evidence anymore that parents are teaching their children much about personal responsibility.
