Spoken by the lips of a child from a wealthy family. Those of us that had that kind of head start can say Sorry About That to those poor unfortunates that are just too lazy to go out and get one of the millions of unfilled and high paying jobs that the market so desperately needs workers to fill. The unemployment offices are begging for workers to take the jobs that are open. Shame on the lazy, welfare drawing bums of this great nation.

Only the young ones who got stuck in public schools or had parents who didn't pay attention to what brainwashing their children are exposed to.

The Video was OK, the Blonde was better
 
The point was well made where people are discouraged by the system to raise themselves out of poverty.


You guys lost me when the young woman insinuated that there is a connection between Obama and poverty. We must remember that the economy was losing 7 to 8 hundred thousand jobs in the last months of the Bush Administration.

Yea, but he promised that spending a trillion dollars would keep unemployment below 8% and we would live happily ever after.

Of course your right. I would be neglectful if I didn't give Obama credit.

I credit him with the Solyndra solar-company debacle and The Fast and Furious scandal. Wasting a trillion dollars, high unemployment etc. etc.

Well, there ya go. So he has done something and I bet some good friends of his benefited greatly from those transactions.

Let's see the topic was:

How the Was on Poverty Was Lost

Well, could be that we ran out of poor people, no, thant did not happen.

Then maybe we ran out of granades to throw at poor people, no still have pelenty of those.

Then maybe it might be the education that public schools are now teaching. Yep, that's what happened.

Here we go with the alinsky tactics again.

This young woman made an unbias, logical and unemotional presentation clearly spelling out the cause(s) of poverty.

These are the same principles spoken by say Herman Cain. Was he the child from a wealthy family? We all have witnessed the courage of severely disabled people who have overcome many obstacles to live comfortable lives such as Dr. CharlesKruthammer . Conversely normal healthy people who feel entitled and in fact demand it.

I continue to ponder this question "Why do some people work so hard to disprove that a free market system is the best way out of poverty?

The most important aspect of this video points to the fact that America is at a crossroads. Do they want the European model or push to to keep us as a free enterprise system?
