Maybe I have a brain and know how to use it? Have you ever turned on a television? Or visited your "inner city" community?
Oh yes. Poor them. The stupid fucks can't buy a 20 dollar manual, study for a couple months, and write the GED. Somebody pass me a tissue.
That's the only legit point you have made. Yea, there's parasites on the top and bottom. The fortune 500 banker-industrial-energy-pharmaceutical-insurance political ruling class fuck us from above. The blacks, hispanics and broke ass whites fuck us from below.
Sure. Obama said to "step up to the plate" and pass that rotten program. Of course, he later had his own boondoggles, such as the stimulus. Anyway, you failed (again) to engage with my point.
Funding isn't the issue. We all know throwing money at the problem just leads to another request for a larger amount next time... Instead, it's the value system instilled by the family and community. Even then, without personal motivation to learn, be curious, and to excel, family and community values mean nothing. Each person not only needs to be able to see what's possible, but they also need to want it and be willing to work for it. Lincoln didnt have benefit of organized education or the funding that goes with it. But of course, he was an outlier in a much smaller sample size.... But it does demonstrate how far personal motivation will take you if one applies himself.
