44. Now what
The union folks won, so they seem to be the experts at economic development what are they going to do to re-vitalize the community. Heck everyone has an Axe to grind with somebody and in the end the poor get hurt.

Who is going to build there now? Give me solutions instead of more opinions and problems then maybe I will agree with what is being said in this thread.

Look, I am only talking about short term part time jobs for young people to work so they can go to school and get ahead and beat poverty, just like I did. Now I hear on the news that It is wrong for poor people to go into the military, it is wrong for poor people to work a part time non-union job. (I did all of this, and I am pretty successful now) Heck I even dug graves for 3 bucks an hour in the hot bamma sun. Before that I worked for a dollar an hour building houses. I was poor as a child and teenager and I know what it is like to have nothing in the refrigerator but some fat back and welfare cheese. I care about people not about some agenda. I am very passionate about this. That is why it is hard for me to back down.
POVERTY IS COLOR BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What in the past year has Maxine did for the poor in her district. What has Jackson done for the poor in South Central? NOTHING.
