It is true that the democrats don't care for "the little guy." Honestly, anyone who cares about the little guy wouldn't bust their butts to increase the minimum wage! They'd give jobs to the most unemployable people and give them just enough money to survive cold and hungry.

Think people! Without the minimum wage having a job wouldn't promise that you would have any economic stability. The minimum wage is the only thing keeping food on the plates of many Americans. The most unemployable Americans will not be employed in the United States. This is a sad fact caused by the lack of attention given to them and the failure of our public school systems.

Why do the public schools fail? Because the richest among us are trying to increase the gap between their riches and the poorest peoples poverty. They feel that them having a billion dollars and someone else having twenty is better than them having a billion dollars and someone else having two hundred.

What is the primary cause of American students dropping out of school (or not being successful in school)? Socioeconomic status. This is the most crucial factor in the equation. Think back to high school; do you recall any children from upper middle class on up dropping out?

When food, housing, and healthcare are guaranteed for all Americans, the schools and all else will improve. Until then, the fact that the United States REQUIRES that students stay in schools until they are 16 years old will dictate that many schools will have low test scores. Higher level students are held back by worse students resulting in a weakened education for event he brightest. Int he mean time the bad students fall back and fail out.

The problems with unemployment, education, and racial descrimination don't lie in anything that either party has done. They lie in what neither party has done.
