Unemployment in the underclass is not caused by lack of jobs or of job skills, but by the inability to get up every morning and go to work.OUCH

Sorry, but no work: no food, no housing, etc. Welfare is not the solution to correct this. People are making excuses for others.

This is painfully obvious. You can only help those who want to be helped.

It is the truth. Now if we could just pay the underclas to stop having children we could make progress in eliminating poverty.

In America, poverty is not a situation beyond your control.

The solution is to bind the "Two Americas." This country was not free for everyone until 1965, since then this country has been divided by the dispersment of property taxes.

For me getting up for work is easy. The only problem I have nowadays is there doesn't seem to be a dime left after getting paid.

In America, poverty is not a situation beyond your control.The real problem is that as Americans, we have a fundamental misunderstanding of what poverty is. I challenge any liberal to go spend some time in the 3rd world sh*thole of your choice, then come back to the US and tell me where the "poor" people are.
Hint: There aren't any.

Those statistics are hair-raising and intolerable.

No further discussion is allowed.

Your post makes absolutely no sense to me.
Can you elaborate when you're sober?

The problem is weening them off the dole. We have 4 generations who believe Section 8 housing and food stamps are their RIGHT as Americans.

When I show up for work, I've done my part. It's their job to get something out of me.

Thats a very ignorant thing to say.
25% of minorities live under poverty, what do you think that number was before 1965, was it their fault then?
Why don't you try something; go to an inner city school and try to blame that on minorities.

Welfare is,and has been for many years,a career choice in this country.And that's exactly the way the Kennedys,Clintions and Jesse Jacksons of this country want it!

Painfully true.

Unemployment in the underclass is not caused by lack of jobs or of job skills, but by the inability to get up every morning and go to work.Twelve years as a day's pay employee and 13 years in labor relations taught me the truth of this statement beyond contest. The number one reason for mine employee discharge by a country mile -- absenteeism!!!!

So true. Many of my friends have average jobs (less than $15 an hour), small, modest homes (which they own), two decent used or older vehicles and just a few bucks in reserve cash. They would be considered at least not rich. I know a few people who could have the same things, but refuse to work. They just can't seem to stay on a job.
My best friend waited tables and her husband has held the same job in a warehouse for 10 years. They have two kids and one on the way. They are happy, they are fine because they have worked consistently. The true underclass does not do this.
It used to be the underclass was not nurtured to grow through federal subsidies. People had to figure out how to make a go of life or, well, not. Society also used to attach moral stigma to people who lacked the virtue to hold a job, stay off alcohol and stay our of trouble with the law. We don't do that anymore because it isn't politically correct to make people accountable.
