Nice theory, but you can't swing that excuse in the real world. For
example, take the layoffs GM just announced. Many are single parents
with school age children who can not go back to school AND support a
family. What should they do, Dave? They lost their well paying jobs and
medical insurance for themselves and their children. If you were well
educated in the world beyond eastern Pa., you would know what the
employment scene is like in Detroit. You claim one can simply move away,
but that is based on your own lack of education and not able to realize
many can't move away for a myriad of reasons, such as caring for an
infirm parent nearby in a care facility for but a single example. More
children are now caring for parents than in any other time in our
history. Many have taken out home equity loans to pay for health care
and prescription coverage that they lost through no fault of their own.
There is an entire contingency in many demographical areas of the US in
which many are trapped in a sort of financial snare. People like you
usually get what is coming in the end and karma, luck, divine
intervention, whatever, will dictate you end up just like those you
blame for being poor, black, queer, liberal, etc. In fact, your daughter
may quit school, commonly become pregnant to an African-American or
three, have many children and volunteer at the ACLU before realizing she
is a lesbian and needs a job to pay the attorney for the crack and
prostitution charges.
