First, you got to m the benefits cliff. And I don't see a way to do it other than implement a guaranteed minimum income. Would have to totally revamp the EITC.
Second, we have to do something about education funding. Our inner city schools are crumbling. I mean come on, put yourself in these black guys shoes. What do they see? Society denying them. And success, do they see I doctor, living well, respected, living in their community. Hell no, they see that luxury car, that drug dealer, those women. What do you expect them to do?
We are losing so much, we really are. There is not an inner city school district in the country that you can't send me in to and I can't find some jewels. The sad part, most of them will go unpolished. Sure, that is their loss. But is more ours.
