I am in precise agreement with the views you expressed in the post to which i'm responding. Below is Karen's post that I perceived as a Let Them Eat Cake position that had your full agreement. In fact, since you write "I do [believe there is a percentage of structural poverty], and I believe there is an obligation to provide a basic safety net for the poor and as many opportunities as possible to their children, to avoid cyclic poverty," I see now it is not as close to your views as you originally thought. <<<There will always be jobs for people who want to work. The jobs just won't pay well. People who have them won't be able to afford to own a home or raise a family. To quote a popular poster on these threads, a Ms. X I believe her name is, "that's their choice; I don't care." We don't do anything with them except perhaps give them free condoms. If there are a lot of them, they'll come so cheap that granny and working moms and the Nature Conservancy will be able to hire them to do the jobs you mentioned that need to be done. For those who don't want to work, they can be supported by their co-dependent families or marry rich or become celebrities or leave the country or become criminals. If they become criminals, we put them in jail. That's all I think WE do. The rest is up to them.>>>
