Doesn't matter if there are 25 choices or 200, So you and Bernie were stupid to say childhood hunger was caused by too many consumer choices. You think no one knew that? "The number one cause of childhood poverty is " inadequate household income. But why is household income inadequate? The number one cause of childhood poverty is unwed parenthood and the number one cause of that is immorality among young people. Why can't liberals admit that? How not to be poor Walter E. Williams \| May 11, 2005 .... Avoiding long-term poverty is not rocket science. First, graduate from high school. Second, get married before you have children, and stay married.

And, finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior. ........... http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2005/05/11/how_not_to_be_poor A lot of liberals know this ... if they THINK about it, which few do. But they can't admit it. For emotional reasons, they want to believe children are poor because of rich people or the Koch brothers or the cereal/sneaker/deodorant companies ie capitalism.
