This is true. Actually, you could probably get really good outcomes by just giving poor parents lots of money. Poverty is the problem. Make them not poor. The solution is simple. Problem is, there's no way you can sell those policies to the American electorate. So you're back to square one.[/quote]

You think these people ended up poor by accident?  It's the choices they make every day.  Like getting nails done versus buying a book.

You give them cash and check in a few months. I guarantee you they will have gone through the cash, back on welfare, and it's not because they invested into 529.

You take a low SES class black girl and put her in a nice shiny building with books and teachers.  She'll get pregnant and drop out.  We create nice buildings over and over again, and the schools fall to shit because you can't fix internal metal issues with expensive material crap.   Kids need proper environment and role models.  Schools cannot make up for the environment at home.[/quote]

Right. Every single one of them. And every single white person would studiously save their money and only spend it on what's necessary.

Care to share where you learned your racist stereotypes?  I'm leaning towards Rush Limbaugh, but it kind of has a Bill O'Reilly flavor to it.  Maybe a hint of Ayn Rand condescension too.[/quote]
