We need to come to Jesus.

Seriously, we need to come to the realization that the reality of the things which are wrong are in part due to an inherent inner city bias against such things as education, however there is also an aspect of economic reality which prevents too many from getting decent jobs no matter how much they try. A "well if you work hard" enough attitude is completely inane when there aren't good jobs to be had.

Therefore we need something that goes beyond programs and stimulus and addresses many basic issues which are interrelated while working on attitude modification. We need to motivate people to become educated and work, but we need jobs to be had.

1) Whites, Asians, and some middle eastern decent people (like India) have a far easier time moving from poverty up to middle class or higher.
2) Blacks and Native Americans have a far harder time moving up from poverty to middle class and beyond.
3) Hispanics are about middle of the road for upward mobility. Mainly because of having to account for the undocumented which are too scared to try to climb too high. Those that are documented and have good values tend do VERY well though in climbing the economic social ladder.
4) Blacks are the only race that has any significant "downward" mobility of losing economic standing.


On the surface this looks like a straight racial issue. But there is quite a bit of difference in values taught by parents of those races to their kids. Whites, Asians, and Indians are more apt to teach their kids to stay in school, work hard, work smart, don't burn bridges, and you'll succeed. Overwhelmingly they do.

I'm not going to hunt it down right now, but Stossel did a piece comparing a Native American tribe who receives no government benefits to tribes that do. The tribe that doesn't get government cheese has become quite successful. We all know how the other tribes are doing.

Government handouts are destructive, but it's the only things compassionate "liberals" know how to do, throw other people's money at the wall and hope something sticks.
