In the inner cities,
they're born lazy! Why didn't I think of that?
Oh, yeah, that's right, I'm not a born racist! Sez Paul:
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Wednesday lamented that the culture in inner cities contributes to poverty in America.
“We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in
particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even
thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work,
and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with,"
he said on Bill Bennett's "Morning In America," as recorded by
Think Progress.
In discussing inner city culture, Ryan referenced Charles Murray, a social scientist who has claimed that, "One reason that we still have poverty in the United States is that a lot of poor people are born lazy."
From now on, when I want to clarify my feelings about the poor, I, too, will reference
Charles Murray.
