[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's crime has been going down - so let's start there.  If you really want to end youth crime in DC here is how you did it:

1.  Make sure all children have: housing, healthy food and high quality education from preschool through high school.

2.  Develop real vocational training programs.

3.  Provide accessible, quality health care for all.

4.  Provide youths in Wards 7 and 8 will FREE sports programs - for example, if you want to play baseball, free gloves, bats, catcher's equipment and specialized coaching. Plus provide transportation to and from practices and games.

5.  Give folks in Ward 7 and 8 housing grants to purchase homes.

Oh and, maybe tell the 10% of America who has 90% of the country's wealth - you are actually going to have to pay your fair share.[/quote]

According to a projection from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the top 1 percent of Americans will pay 45.7 percent of the individual income taxes in 2014—up from 43 percent in 2013 and 40 percent in 2012 (the oldest period available).

The bottom 80 percent of Americans are expected to pay 15 percent of all federal income taxes in 2014, according to the study. The bottom 60 percent are expected to pay less than 2 percent of federal income taxes.

How much is a fair share to you?[/quote]

Try again - the super wealthy most of the time have little actual "income" so they can hide their money elsewhere. All your stats show is that the US is losing its middle class.  But keep watching FoxNews.  Seriously - this is the richest nation the world has ever seen and we can't even ensure our citizens have access to health care?  I mean come on.[/quote]
