Thank you kindly.

I well remember LBJ's War on Poverty speech. Being young and idealistic at the time I thought poverty was the shortage of money and jobs. I now know know poverty results from the shortage of knowledge and desire.

This country offers half of the equation to everybody. It is up to the individual to provide the other half. Why is that a national issue?
