I am with you down until the last paragraph. It was true a generation ago that poor people had poor ways but that has changed. Some people stil have difficulty due to poor economic habits but a greater percentage are doomed from the get go no matter what they do and it takes luck to break the cycle. A lot of it is relative to having lower paying jobs versus a generation ago while certain costs adjusted for inflation have not gone down.
To be honest the local economic situation scares me because I don't see any of the 10-12 dollar per hour jobs you describe at least in terms of availability to be applied for.

That is the situation some people face. I would agree that there are people out there that do not try hard enough but there are people who are just caught up in circumstances. When you have no set schedule at McDonald's or WalMart it is hard to go to the community college to get the education that leads to a better job elsewhere.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
