Or people with no skill sets, or people who have some skills, but refuse to use them. These two groups of people, by my estimation, account for about 10% of the population, IOW, about the same percentage of "poor" that is constantly cited. The Democrat's decades long plans have given these folks the idea that all they have to do is be born and breathe and they are "owed" a living. This is nothing more than Democrat plans coming "home to roost", as the "Reverend" Wright loudly proclaims.

By contrast, yesterday, I flew my motorglider over to meet with a Civil Air Patrol squadron at a nearby airfield for a show and tell. I want to tell you I was thoroughly impressed with these kids. They were polite, asked intelligent questions and generally gave me a brighter outlook for our future. One kid, probably about 14 years old or so, came up to me after my little dog and pony show and asked (very politely) "So, what did you do, education wise, that has afforded you this lifestyle?" After I gave my answer (electrical engineer), I asked him if he was home schooled and his face lit up and said "yes, how did you know?" "It shows", I said......
