In reply to the discussion: Why I DON'T support Bernie for President [View all]azurnoir
(45,850 posts)IMO the rest is sort of a 'gish gallop' or insecting so many things that no answer is possible so I shall separate the 2 statements
"you say "How can a program for ALL impoverished youth help level the playing field when, even within that structure, there exist racial disparities? So the plan, fails on that measure. How can the plan level the economic playing field ... or, rather, for whom would the field be leveled? "
do you expect 1 cure all for all racial economic evils? I never stated it was I said it could help and that help would be by lifting at least some youth out of poverty, iMO there needs to be an educational component too though as that will do far more
"IOWs, if every impoverish youth got employment and was lifted out of poverty, the intra-class disparity would still exist and the plan would do vitually nothing to close the income inequality gap with the 1%. "
you're right it would not and I'll let Mr Sanders address you on the rest
