    In the future, those who are poor & uneducated in America will fall behind because they will not possess the education nor skill levels to obtain a job which makes a decent income.  As a result, the poor & uneducated will become a permanent underclass.  The poor & uneducated will be funneled into the prison system or in the army forces as fodder.  Many middle class Americans are taxed because of the poor and becoming sick of them.  The former are now seeing the poor as excess baggage.  In future America, the poor will be dealt with by more drastic means.  Your thoughts?

    I honestly do feel for this underclass as you refer to them. HOWEVER, they are offered an education "FREE" of charge up to H.S. It is not the fault of the so-called middle class that they seem to prefer to shoot each other to learning!
    If we are including the illegal aliens, (THEY ARE "NOT" UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS), they are not the responsibility of the citizens of the U.S.A. nor our government! They became criminals by the simple and obvious act of coming here illegally! AND, they should not be allowed ANY benefits while here! The incredibly stupid law making children of illegals born here citizens AND allowing their parents to use this as a club to beat America into giving them asylum is asinine, plain and simple. They take this into consideration even before they cross the border, "ILLEGALLY"!

    In the United States of America, poor parents are ill equipped to prepare their children academically & career-wise because they are typically less educated, even uneducated.  Poor parents have nothing to teach their children; also they don't have the socioeconomic means to provide cultural & intellectual outlets for their children.  Poor children oftentimes are unprepared for school.  As a result, they fall behind & are low academic achievers.

    Poor parents don't value education.  They see education as beyond the purview of poor children.  Poor children aren't encouraged to better themselves educationally nor socioeconomically by their parents.  Poor parents could care less about their children.  Poor children have no future in 21st century America.  They will become the permanent, uneducated underclass.  They will either be relegated into the widening prison system or be used for combat fodder.

    The future in America belongs to the upper middle & upper classes who have the intellectual & socioeconomic resources to prepare their children for 21st century culture.  Poor parents don't have such resources.  They have NOTHING to offer their children educationally, intellectually, nor socioeconomically.  Poor children are DOOMED, even DAMNED.

    When you study history well, you have a better idea where you are coming from and where you are going.

    AMERICANS The gap between rich and poor is bigger than in any other advanced country, but most people are unconcerned. Eight out of ten, more than anywhere else, believe that though you may start poor, if you work hard, you can make pots of money. It is a central part of the American Dream, yet you have to be asleep to experience it for the vast majority. You and I don't belong to the greedy Bastards club, yet I'm happier being balanced.

    How come per capita a black family income is 1/10 the income of a white families. Not in Canada, little different in income, not seen a black slums or tent cities. I can go anywhere with a blacks person, in any bar, venue or institution, not in the US. Too dangerous for me to even date a black woman. Even though white male and black woman are the most successful long term marriages of all races and interracial marriages.

    US is a country that tolerates inequality, political consequences and greed of Corperationism. I was ask to build the first American black history museum. From my black history studies , I refused,  due to great controversy.  Segregation/Schools didn't happen til the 60s, black voting and interracial marriage til 1965. For 75℅ of the time in American black history blacks been chained to slavery, then later many in enprisonment. Segregated schools, the last half century has proved beyond doubt that whites will do whatever they can to avoid living near, or sending their children to school with blacks, as segregation is  increasing again. Which is saying Blacks are inferior and not entitled to the same equality promise in the American Constitution. Imagine in 1959 the first blacks going to school with whites. Then having the military and national guard following blacks around all day long for fear of harm.

    American are less happy now then when Bush was governing the economy. Trump claims Bush is the worst Presidents in history, yet White House professes to be untroubled because big increases of those at the top. Why worry of rising debt, high house prices slow income growth. Inflation headed to the roof, yet not wages.

    The hit on the head lessons keep coming to support the largest single lie of modern-day American Programming. This lie is so successful, billion people believe in it and it’s simply accepted “wisdom” and not even questioned.

    The Corperationism lie is disguises as Capitalism. Big government assisting big banks. Corporations ripping off their customers, then bailing out. Blame 2008 crash on screaming Capitalism nonsense, we need to have free markets. It's was too much the 1℅ greedy, and too less of wealth for the lower 90℅. The problem is corporatism, not capitalism, US isn’t a capitalist country.  Once you know the source of the economy problem. Until then, the wealthy Government/and owners of the this country, will own you and your little kids too.
