Last night’s Ethics and Law class was very interesting. We discussed human rights and poverty.

Did you know that the majority of welfare recipients are white women with children? Or that women on welfare have fewer children than the average American? Or that: “(o)f black women considered ‘highly dependent,’ that is, on welfare for more than seven years, 81 percent of their daughters grow up to live productive lives off the welfare rolls.”

Did you know that in the US the fastest growing group in poverty is children?

But at least our corporate welfare system is working well.
