If they all got into college, then I'd say it's sort of moot whether they fulfilled all their high school attendance requirements. They made it into college. What difference does it make?

they made it into for-profit colleges willing to fleece them for $$.

So don’t hire them what do you care

I'd rather not pay for them as I have been paying for them and their moms. Welfare it's a thing

States with no income tax:

• Alaska.
• Florida.
• Nevada.
• South Dakota.
• Texas.
• Washington.
• Wyoming.

Freedom to take your ass somewhere else if you don't like the District - its a thing.

I am not the PP, but Wyoming would be a fantastic place for some of these apprentices. They are literally begging for workers there. I've often wondered why the urban underemployed don't head out to the great West.

For that matter, why don't all the rural underemployed move out west instead of whining about losing coal jobs?

DP. They can carpool with the underemployed urban youth, so we can at least cut down on the environmental impact and they can all save on gas money.

Np. Good point. There’s so much opportunity in regions outside DC, and, as PP points out, we all have the freedom to live anywhere in these great United States.

PP, are you serious? more urban underemployed should move to Wyoming, I'm sure they will totally fit in. The good, welcoming white folk of Wyoming will happy to have Blacks from DC, Baltimore, Chicago, or Cleveland move to town.

Didn’t stop them from moving to Maryland or Virgina

You mean as slaves

Or are you referring to Nigerian MDs

because anyone can get into college. The ballou PARCC scores show that less than 3% of the students met grade level expectations. And thats on top of missing all the school days. Any for profit school advertising on TV will take anyone with a HS diploma. How many of those college acceptances were to Phoenix or Cappella. or even UDC for that matter. its actually.terrible because the kids will take out too of loans and they read on a 3rd grade level.

These days the great West is Asia.

And I agree, non-taxpayers should go and start a new life there, better for everyone.

would those non-tax payers include the corporations that receive million dollar tax abatements at the expense of the middle class?

If they pay no taxes, sure.

But be careful what you ask for -- even a struggling company like GE pays more income tax that the bottom 40% Americans combined.

yeah, i remember when GE paid $0 on $108 billion because the money was parked overseas. That’s definitely more than the bottom 40%. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/2852094
