Unstack the Deck

“There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.”  ― Mahatma Gandhi

Do people honestly believe that there is a large majority of people out here who just want to be poor; unemployed or underemployed -eager to be one check away from poverty OR mired in poverty "on purpose?" A large majority who would rather be out of their minds on drugs, leaving their families hungry and helpless as they search for their next hit? Who want their children to get a watered down education and just hang on until they are old enough to just stop going altogether? Who look forward to their kids joining gangs or killing folks and spending years in and out of prison?

Well, I know people who think this and I know that there are a lot of people that I don't know who think it and I think they are the ones who are all insane!! No money = very, very few options and in light of the financial crisis this country is in, the gap is widening between what they can have and what they can not. Contrary to popular opinion, poor people don't just want to sit around and wait on checks. Give them your opportunities and the jobs you're able to get as a result of them and they'll take care of you on welfare; gladly!
