There has lately been a lot of legitimate focus on poverty as the root cause of inner city violence and dissatisfaction. Currently the 67% of America's black kids who are raised in poor single-parent households - often with an addiction addled adult - are not just disadvantaged but often are doomed. Those being asked (or required) to relieve some of that poverty (through taxation) are themselves often single parents who through self-sacrifice and determination acquire marketable job skills and then work 12 hour days (perhaps 2 jobs) just to provide the basics and maybe a smidge more. Is it fair to impose upon others the responsibility of providing for kids whose parents not only do not attain job skills, but willfully avoid them?
