Culture-driven Dysfunction

Published



Is the “problem” in America the virtual economic wall between the haves and have-nots? If we listen even briefly to President Obama and the democrats (who have a splashy new logo that looks like Otis Elevator may have a trademark issue … going down), it certainly seems that if we can just push more money down a few rungs then all will be better. But we’ve been doing that since at lease LBJ’s War on Poverty, and after countless billions of dollars, the problem persists.

No matter how uncomfortable and easy to criticize it may be, perhaps the issue is more culture than economic, more choice than compelled.
