Beschreibung

At each stage of their livesfrom infant cribs to teen dropouts to welfare dependents to basement shelters for the elderlythe people of the underclass are shunned by the rest of the population, even by the working poor. The cycle is vicious: Underclass children get little help in their own homes (when they have homes); they are shoved aside at school until they drop out like their parents did; they are unable to find decent work without an education; they have children of their own for whom they cannot provide adequate care; and finally, they are dumped into human (but inhumane) warehouses for the not-quite-deceased. America cannot afford to do this to its poorest citizens; we cannot affordnotto rescue the underclass. In the richest country on earth, the people of the underclass are not merely a problem, they are a scandal.
