I know you are not quoting me... I have never said that. And my advise to my kids is not "Work hard, go to school"

I am not quoting you.
It should be your advice to people, because its true.

those two statements are not advise but rather "Commands"... That is their job,

This is where I believe you are wrong.
Working hard and valuing education are both learned behaviors. Its not innate human nature. It is a learned behavior you get from your environment.
I am suggesting, some poor, not all, are NOT being taught this behavior.
And guess what?
I taught in the poorest school in Texas, I assure you that some are not.
Then I step in and say "work hard, go to school" Explain exactly why, showed them graphs, and stats, and income levels and all the evidence in the world as to why its true.
Then it becomes me versus their entire social world.
Guess who wins sometimes?
My mentioning FAIR tax was to illustrate, that we all have social influences. Some times we listen to sound advice (Go to school, FAIR tax has flaws)
And sometimes we dont - (drop out of school, be a Boortz ditto head)
We all do it. (Some more than others, see the "idiot test" thread.)
I know you didn't write the article you posted.
But did you find the flaw in his logic on the one point I disagreed with?
