exactly dude
So you think the parents are letting their kids suffer to have more bling?

Yeah in many cases. I have seen parents
trade their kids for crack among other things
pimp out their young daughters for drugs
make porn films using their kids
not spending on their kids is a minor sin compared to some of the stuff I have seen
And those people should be in jail. Welfare isn't the issue in that case.
the point is many of those on the dole don't spend the money they are given for their children on their children, I really don't have any problem sterilizing people like that
Sterilization isn't the right fix. Attacking the causes of poverty is. Thats why after I'm out of the military (6-8years) I'm starting a non-profit.
one of the causes of poverty are the programs liberal politicians have created designed to keep people poor so they vote for the party of handouts
I'm not so sure. A constant thing harped on by libertarians and conservatives alike is the belief that welfare has greatly contributed to the destruction of the black family. However (IMO), if you look at the history of demographics of the black family you'll see a near steady increase in separation throughout the late 19th and early 20th century, and it spiked when the baby boomer generation came into adulthood. It seems to be more endemic in the community and more nuanced to be primarily caused by welfare IMO.
what was the rate of black illegitimacy prior to the Great SOciety program? after it?
I'd have to look it up to give you exact numbers, but you'd have to account for population growth in it as well, which I know most people don't do.
how is a rate of illegitimacy dependent on population
sorry I'm a little buzzed. What I mean is that you'd have to account for population growth to get proper percentages.
that doesn't make any sense
Just have to chime in and say that I only worked (at least heavily) during summers too in college, for the most part, and I neither had (a) parents who could pay my way through school or (b) a scholarship.
I did this by taking out student loans.
Interesting ... so I presume you did not go to a "prestigious" college/university then, as, generally speaking, that would not be possible .. student loans do not cover those.
Is it too damn much to ask you to at least try to verify the fantasies you so hold dear? Most selective and very selective colleges have need blind admissions and they'll put together financial aid packages which enable accepted students to attend. A student who is admitted to such colleges then has a choice where he has to balance quality of school versus attractiveness of the aid package offered. I knew plenty of such students during my college experience - 100% total aid packages.
After wasting two years getting boring crap done at community college, I transferred to the University of Michigan. Needless to say, this is no cheap school. I then went on and received an MBA afterward (not at U of M).
I don't know how people can "run out" of loan money. After wasting two years getting boring crap done at community college, I transferred to the University of Michigan. Needless to say, this is no cheap school. I then went on and received an MBA afterward (not at U of M).
I was never even close to running out of loan money.
Additionally, most of the wealthy have a free ride as they do not have student loan debt after college, while those less fortunate have a huge debt when they first get out of college.
You don't think the University of Michigan is prestigious? Ross is a top 5 business school nationally, up there with the likes of the Wharton (UPenn), and Harvard Biz.
We Michigan business alumni are allowed egos. They're well deserved.
