To me, it seems that the problems of the ghetto are just not related to politics or who is in office.
The ghettoes of our cities have been vast wastelands for decades, through good economic times and bad, through presidencies of both Republicans and Democrats. And now, for almost six years of a black president, the ghetto is still the same disaster area it was the day Obama took office.
Money won’t help one bit.
The very core of the problem is that women aren’t insisting that men marry them before getting sex,
and leftists aren’t going to try to solve that problem, ever.
No, not just banks. Billions for Green Energy boondoggles, billions for illegals, billions for everyone who can donate big bucks or millions of votes. It isn’t rocket science.
Democrats favorite social programs...”offshoots” of THE GREAT SOCIETY insist there be no DAD in the home...for the moms of enumerable kids to get their gubment monies..
no dad ...no AUTHORITY....no workable social order...
Every 8 years there is a new crop of dopey kids who fall for whatever pretentious pap and glittering generalities the ‘Rat candidate spews.
Millions of young minds full of mush — and intentionally rendered so by the cynical and sinister collaboration of the so-called “educational” establishment and the so-called “entertainment” industry.
It’s time to raised the voting age to 25.
Close... replace "women" with "15 and 16 year old girls"
"Trillion dollar checks" - the author doesn't seem to understand math or finance.
He's clearly an Occupy Wall Street kind of class warrior. Bizarrely leftist.
And is he arguing that the President should be directing more handouts to the inner city?
That's also bizarrely leftist.
The President has already showered other people's hard-earned money on the inner city in the form of neverending WIC/EBT/Obamaphone/Obamacare subsidies.
He's been an absolute profligate in transferring wealth from the dos to the do-nots.
Sucking up to the very “fat cats” he railed about during the election. I guess that was before he started getting HIS cut of the bounty!
25 and owners of real property.
Is "John Ransom" a pseudonym for Al Sharpton?
and what would that "investment" look like? More handouts? Maybe the solution begins with people taking more responsibility for their own actions and destructive behaviors.
Oh?
Why not require a net worth in excess of $100,000 while you’re at it?
The murder rate in Chicago is their justification for more gun control laws. They don’t want it to stop.
I could live with that.
I can bring that back around, too -
15 and 16 yr old girls should be under the protection of a FATHER,
which leads back to the requirement of marriage to the girls’ fathers.
The ghetto will always be the ghetto until the people in the ghetto stop being ghetto.
or something like that
yep
Blacks will vote Dem forever. There is a certain underclass that likes being on the dole (not only Blacks, but a whole lot of them) as long as the benefits are good enough (which they are). Why bother to work? The only way to improve their lot is to withdraw or lower those benefits enough that it becomes more cost effective to work.
As to the broken family, look again to the welfare benefits where you get more money for each kid that you pop out, as long as you aren’t married to a supporting husband. Can’t have that, can we. So cut off the money spigot, don’t increase it, which is the gist of this article.
