What, so a single mom with 4 kids who is working two jobs in Detroit and getting assistance to put food on the table is going to move to, say, Indianapolis and start making plenty of money? Because those uneducated labor jobs you speak of pay so well, right?
You sound an awful lot like a white guy who never had to worry about anything except for passing his classes. I didn't grow up poor in the projects either but I've certainly dealt with people who have (I'm not talking about drug deals smart asses). Lookit, I'm not advocating a welfare state or saying that people can't rise above it but to suggest that "moving" is going to help the situation of someone who is from generations of poor people is, as 2233 put it, asinine.
