<<<< People don't move out of poverty, because they don't know how to do it!>>>>

Right. Exactly! Many don't move out of poverty because it has become a way of life for one generation after another. ........NOW, I do agree with you that education helps. Helps! But it is not the only solution. If it was, everyone who got an education would be out of poverty and we know that is not the case. ........When Clinton made welfare changes into law - it worked. The incentive no longer was to remain on Welfare.

I am willing to give every child in America enough healthy food to eat. No questions asked. You can be an illegal immigrant and your Dad can rob banks for a living. But I am not willing to pay my tax money to parents so they can poison their children with crap deep fried potatoe chips and sugar coke drinks that they end up getting addicted to. Why people here continue to argue in favor of dumping this crap down the throats of kids mystifies me. Do you want our kids to grow up to be diabetics? We know that is the end result for many.

You have this insane idea that it is some class warfare with me. It's NOT. It's a health issue.
