Oh Noes : Most Republicans Who Bought Obamacare Coverage Like Their Plans

Especially true for minorities. Yet most don't bother. They'd rather cry poor and whine about how whitey is keeping them down.

You're right! And when I look around at the school I volunteer at virtually all of the volunteers are white!

But eating doritos with Mountain Dew and 1/4 pounders is a better solution? Perhaps so ... for a short time .. but then when they develop health issues it's taxpayers who pay for the Medicaid they receive. It's all about responsibility ... and choices. Any kid, no matter how poor, deprived or otherwise challenged can succeed in life if they apply themself in the classroom. Ben Carson and Hermain Cain are two examples.

In Cain's case, however, one could argue that his success stemmed from having exceptional parents, and in Carson's case, his mother.

But they were poor and didn't make much $$. They just apparently persevered rather than giving up. Others can do the same. I see a few parents of kids I work with working 2 jobs trying to improve their lives. But the majority have an "I don't care" and "I deserve my handouts" mentality. They've been on welfare etc. so long they feel it's their right.
