While the expressed intentions are noble without a doubt, it appears to be one of those things that you just can't force upon people. Ending persistant poverty is like ending drug and alcohol abuse. Some people really just don't care and they're going to do it anyway. Folks that have zero personal motivation simply cannot be talked into working a full-time job and doing what it takes to not get fired for showing up drunk, or not showing up to work at all. Unemployment continues to drop in America; I think we're under 5.0% now? This is the land of opportunity where anyone can succeed with a little talent and a lot of hard work. People with no talent and who never work hard can't be made to succeed financially however.

All IMHO.
