Actually the exact opposite has been proven. 9% of those in bottom quintile get a bachelors, while 99% in the highest do so. You simply cannot attribute THAT disparity to the poor being lazy, especially because in 1970 the figures were 6% to something line 50% or a little less.I think it is pretty self-explanatory. You're just another kid here whining about free this and free that. It has been explained to you again and again and again that it is completely possible to get a higher education in this country if you want one. Some have to work at it harder than others, such is life.
As my Dad used to say.. "the world doesn't owe you a living".
But at the same time, there's no support to the notion of just spending more will make it better .... or really a lot better.
I said nothing about the poor being lazy... nothing at all.. so don't pull out that tired drek. All I said was that it is possible to get an education... there are many ways of doing it. Maybe part-time, foregoing the whole on campus thing.
It can be done. Chrissy's point is that the only answer is federally funded for all, which of course is not the way to go. All you'll end up with is a bunch of career students... shit, you want to be a career student, then you pay for it.
No there is not. People like you are against raising minimum wage and against helping people in any meaningful way. Then you will bitch that your tax money goes to support people who cannot provide a living for themselves. Something has to give.
Yeah? Tell us... what have you done lately to help anyone? Coming here and demanding free shit for all doesn't count by the way. That's the gutless choice.
no matter what it is.... it's way more than you've ever done for anyone else.
Wow... you sure know a lot about me... what did I eat for lunch today Jilly? Did I shit this morning or later today at the office, or, both?
