Poverty is worse today than it was back in the day? What are you smoking? “Poverty” today is defined as two cars per household, multiple color televisions with cable TV, and a cell phone for each member of the household. That would have been upper class in MLK’s day. Some people totally misunderstand MLK. He said people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. He did not say they should not be judged, or should get a free ride. He dreamed of “equality of opportunity”, word for word, not equality of outcome regardless of effort. The American dream is to get a job and create a family, and to have you children do better than you. If you can’t find a job, you create one. Sitting on welfare or unemployment for years indicates YOU are the problem, not America. There’s no shortage of businesses looking for GOOD workers. If you have no skills, or have antiquated skills, you retrain. Thankfully we live in America, where such opportunities abound. If you’re not a good worker, are unwilling to train/retrain yourself, and won’t create a job, you’ve earned your poverty.
