Once again, someone always attempts to deflect the focus from the main issue, which was trying to "fix" the police. Somehow the topic got twisted into welfare and the "Ghetto", which originally was defined as this : " Italian, orig. the name of an island near Venice where Jews were forced to reside in the 16th century ". How it came to be slang for other ethnic groups is anybody's guess, but that is besides the point. The truth is this system of capitalism so many Americans enjoy cannot work without poverty. The rich trade money for labor, and the poor, and working class trade labor for money. The people with the money will always have the upper hand until the 99% demand a system that no longer makes money a prime mover of their lives. Until a new paradigm is established between the poor, the working class, and the elite, inequality and suffering will always be the status quo, and things will stay broken. This is not going be a problem any of us can pray or vote our way out of. If that was the case, the problem would have been solved centuries ago. The truth is law enforcement is not broken, OUR SOCIETY IS. Since we are distracted talking about welfare and all, If I read this to be true ( http://blog.lowincome.org/2016/04/truth-about-welfare-foodstamps-how-many-blacks-vs-whites.html ), then we need to fix the trailer parks too. Once again, the problem is NOT welfare. The problem is a corrupt system that profits from those in poverty. Think about it. This country has NEVER failed to hit a target it aimed for. It boggles the mind that this is the ONLY country that placed a man on the moon, found a cure for polio, Won TWO world wars, created a coast-to-coast interstate system, and offered basic public education to all Americans (after the 60‘s ,of course ), but somehow IT CAN’T DESIGN A SYSTEM TO WIPE OUT POVERTY ???? . The only reason I see for this problem existing is that the dividends from poverty is paying too many people. You know, The banks and corporations “too big to fail “, and the politicians who use the corporate, international, and domestic welfare state to buy votes from the poor , and power and influence from the rich. The truth is the largest welfare recipients in this country are the 1% ( over 1 trillion alone went to the banking system in 2008 to fix their gambling problem , but we have such short memories, don’t we ??). As I said in my last comment, when the elite have us misdirected and fighting each other, it takes the focus from them and their nefarious deeds, giving them more time to leave the ship before it sinks. I can’t blame them. If I was rich and didn’t give a d@mn, that would be exactly what I would do; take care of me and mine. So America, what will it be ?? Do we let the power elite steer the Titanic that is the U.S. to its certain doom, or do we stop arguing among ourselves and figure out how to get control of country back and change course to steer clear of danger ?? Based on what I see so far, we are STILL DOOMED !!!
