La Morena,

Please do not think that all Dominicans are poor and would not be able to pay a home for their parents. It is not only a question of money but a cultural one and one of respect for their parents.

Hmmmmmm, did I say that ALL Dominicans were poor? And the last time I checked the figures were 49% of Diminicans living below poverty level, certainly not all but a damn good majority. You keep thinking its only cultural if that makes you feel better. Again I challenge someone with the $$$ to throw around and good business sense to open up a few "old folks homes" free to those who can't afford and salary scale for those who can and then give me the statistics on how many abuelos y abuelas remain in the family home.
The comment was made that we, as Americans, don't care for our elderly with is not true for the majority, it is a matter of work/lifestyle and means. Don't assume about my people and I won't assume about yours (nanny nanny boo boo)
