You sure read a lot into what I said.

I never suggested one word about the elderly or disabled. You made that part up.

Poverty is not exclusively but is predominantly self inflicted...

It can to a very large degree be mitigated by finishing high school, no kids until out of high school and married, staying married .

You get the behavior that you pay for. With Johnson’s Great Society government payed for...read that rewarded....teen pregnancy, multi generational teen pregnancy...many many illegitimate children.

When kids have kids the off spring don’t have a chance...teen agers have nothing to give to children.

They aren’t educated so they don’t value education.

They haven’t had a stable family so they don’t provide a stable family.

They have no values so they teach no values.

There were always gangs of one variety or another but it was relatively limited until the Great Society...with the sheer volume of fatherless children the gangsta culture emerged.

“The poor will always be with you”...not my words.

The only thing the government has done is to re institute slavery... .

One group is owned by the state and the other group is profoundly abused wards of the state.

It's the logical conclusion of what you said.

If not, then we are in agreement and I don't see why you are arguing with me in the first place.

The words of Christ. Aren't you clever.

The same Jesus that said "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" when it came to taxes.

The same Jesus who IS GOD who clearly said those who turn away from helping the poor will have no help either when they are in need.
