When entrepreneurs are outlawed, only government workers will have jobs.

I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it won’t.

This sounds like RAT City.

This is the Republicans' fault...how?

“What is riskier than living poor in America?”

Being poor in one of the third world socialist/dictatorship shitholes about which you think so highly.

Bullshit. “When you ain’t got nothing you got nothing to lose”. This idiot doesn’t mean even know what the word “risk” means.

If it's so risky to live poor in the U.S., is that not an incentive to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get the Hell out of the cesspool in which you're wallowing?



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

It is called ‘hitting a nerve.’

You can tell things are bad [internal polls, etc.] when the Leftie Liberals are screaming: Lawrence O’Donnell, Maddow, Chris Matthews, Olbermann, etc.

They don’t even have any ‘content’ to defend with, so they resort to screaming and changing the subject and vacillating on positions. They have nothing, except for an empty suit in the Oval Office — when he’s not out golfing or on another vacation.

the host interrupted. “I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it won’t. I am sick of the idea that being wealthy is risky!/

Harris-Perry was Associate Professor of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University from 2006 to 2010. Currently she is Professor of Political Science at Tulane University.[6]

She was married to Dennis Lacewell from 1999 to 2005, with whom she has a daughter.[6][10] She currently lives in New Orleans and is married to James Perry,[2] who was a 2010 candidate for mayor in New Orleans.[4] Two days after the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Harris-Perry tweeted that the abandoned house in the 7th ward that she and her husband had bought and were restoring was destroyed during Hurricane Isaac.

Really? Seriously? I doubt it was a hovel she and her husband purchased to restore. She’s as big a liar as obama.

She's always been crazy. She's another mixed-race person trying to prove she's “authentically black”. Note the cornrows. She's another leftie poser.

“Create a safety net for the poor”?? What about the welfare hammock?

I consider myself a compassionate person, give to certain charities and donate food and clothing, but the poor in the U.S are rich by other country standards and they get so much free from the government - that we pay for.

This is from 2009 and doesn't include any government dole, including free cell phones...;

We have to create a safety net for poor people, and when we won’t because they happen to look different from us, it is the pervasive ugliness.

The scary thing is that this person is a professor of political science at Tulane and previously was a professor at Princeton. Our children are being taught by a person who:

1. Doesn't know or won't acknowledge the difference between risk capital and social risk.

2. Apparently is unaware of that we have had a social safety net in this country since the founding of the Republic and a progressive, government run safety net for at least 47 years

3. Apparently has never asked herself whether the decline in the non-material well-being of the poorest decile of American society over the last forty years or so - measured by things like percentage of intact two parent households, number of children born out wedlock, drug addiction and crime and incarceration rates - might have been accelerated by the safety net programs of the Great Society.

There are questions to be asked here. Primarily, in an increasingly competetive world in which education, responsibility, the willingness to work hard, and discipline are becoming necessary not just to prosper but to survive, how should society, not government but society, deal with a group of people of all races, that does not seem to value education, responsibility, self-restraint, and respect for lawful behavior? Given the social decline of our poorest decile during a period of time when we have had a plethora of federal and federally sponsored programs for relief of the poor, it is not at clear that more of the same would be a good thing. It is, however, a problem that needs to be addressed.
