Some of the "poor" in Newport I wouldn't hire if I owned a small business. I was less than impressed when I worked there. Its not like some of these poor are spending time teaching their kids because they get breakfast, lunch, and dental care from the local schools.

When did the balance in the system go from temporary assistance to complacency?
