What is your solution to generational poverty?

Let's spread the wealth.. give drug addicts free money in reparations. You don't do anything but talk shit about any proposal to fix the issue. You are not part of the solution. You're part of the problem. If idiots like you would get out of the way, we could have this issue tackled in a couple generations.

Putting uninformed bigots like you on an island and forcing them to read.

I personally like the idea of sending this thread to every one of your clients you referred to below whom you obviously think so highly of. It must be more refreshing than a Tampax ad to go to work every day and feel like you're better than everyone else.

Seriously, this line of thinking is beyond repugnant.

Read about existing programs, uninformed bigoted bitch, and learn that eliminating generational poverty is as realistic as eliminating crime.

The goal of existing programs (some of us are involved in our communities---apparently Kevin can't say the same) is to change the structure of poverty and address larger societal issues. Such as people in every social class who are financially, emotionally, and mentally under- or unprepared for parenthood. No one is doing anyone a favor by having children.

Existing programs do not go far enough and do not solve anything. You may enjoy throwing other people's money at problems and not solving them, but most of us don't.

It's mostly, if not always poor people who are financially unprepared for parenthood. Apparently, you are not actually involved in your community or you'd know that. As someone who represents children in our juvenile deprived courts on a regular basis, I have not seen very many middle class or higher families have their children taken away because of abuse or neglect. It does happen, but it is rare. I'm pretty used to seeing children taken from homes with no running water or electricity, and it's never just one child. These dumb bastards tend to have 3-4, at least one is special needs, probably due to neglect. Their rights get terminated and they go on to breed again.

Your apparent solution, not having any more children is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It works great until it leads to the extinction of the species. What of your programs and services are actually making a substantial impact on generational poverty? (in a positive way as most of these programs tend to encourage and enable it)

You don't know anything.

You also need to get over your uninformed bigotry and research how people across socioeconomic status (with some exception for the independently wealthy) express being economically and mentally unprepared for children. Poor people are unfairly the representatives for something that is a societal and world problem.

I don't care if people go extinct (which will take a while with over 7 billion people and daily births and deaths) but I never said people should stop reproducing. I said no one is doing anyone a favor by reproducing. Fertile people have relatively mindlessly and effortlessly reproduced for thousands of years. Wooptydoo. The ease at which eggs dance with sperm for fertile people across socioeconomic status places the tax incentive and paid sterilization nonsense in their proper perspective.

I was listening to "Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop when I read this. It put quite a picture in my head.

But anyway, I did the bare bones search on this dude, and it was as expected. Note: People comparing you to David Duke is not good ever.

Bullshit. Middle class people all over the world do just fine with their kids. It's an economic adjustment for almost everyone but they deal with it. The poor, on the other hand are excessively dependent on government wealth redistribution in order to make ends meet, and as mentioned earlier, still fail to take adequate care of the children, costing further billions of dollars. Paying a thousand dollars here and there to make sure some of those individuals stopped making babies that the public had to provide for would save huge sums of money. Considering that the first rule of getting out of a hole is to stop digging, something like this would certainly yield positive results.

Sure we do. Those of us who produce children who will go on to college and make something of themselves because they had good parents to teach them right from wrong, that hard work pays off, and to refrain from drugs/crime are producing the future workforce, the folks who might someday be funding our social security, etc. On the other hand, the poor are by and large producing our future prisoners and felons, future gang members, future meth manufacturers, etc. That's a lot of generalization, but gang membership and distribution of meth is not found in all socioeconomic cross sections of society at the same levels.

I have to say that there are some things I agree with you on but, the way in which you share your viewpoint comes off as really pretentious. I would hope you don't speak to your clients in such a manner to let them know you think of them as trash. I also found it offensive that you believe some people have a special needs child, as you stated, "probably due to neglect." Please, if nothing else, find a way to present your argument without offending every other person out there.
