(Piling on) Pete, you wrote "without a bases, or knowledge". How about "basis" or "base of knowledge"? Either would work. Also, "retire" should be past tense. I'm only bringing these mistakes up because you said you didn't have any.
Regarding the actual story, Quebec should be a "province" not a "providence".

Hannah, that's normally true for straight news stories. This is a feature and isn't necessarily set up like an AM radio headline news break.

Come on, Janesville mom. You know we didn't say all poor people make bad choices with their money. I said they tend to, and I stand by that.
I think you missed the point. The tattoo, beer, etc. are only bad choices when you can't afford them. When buying them means that the taxpayers of your state will have to subsidize your kids' food!
And, as for being a mentor, I am--to my daughters, who will grow up to know the difference between right and wrong. Whether to feed your family or crack open a Budweiser. Simple things like that, which will ensure that they'll be able to prosper and teach those things to their kids.
It's not a secret the "haves" keep from the "have nots". It's the simple resolve to make things happen.
Maybe I see things too black and white. Either you do it or you don't. It is or it isn't. There's very little in-between.

I missed the cigarettes, but you can add the Bud Light to the list.
I can save this family a pretty good chunk of money right now. Stop smoking (Can't confirm the cigarettes--still couldn't spot them). Stop drinking. Give the dog away.

We can argue all day long that I and some others are being elitist and making assumptions about the beer and tattoo in the photos, so let's remove this particular family from the equation. In general, people living in poverty tend to make bad decisions on how to spend the little money the do have.
It's anecdotal, but I'm right.

...Choices to spend $75 on "dog supplies" and taxpayer dollars on human supplies...
Good catch on the tattoo. I had to go back and find the photo from yesterday. Sure enough.

I want to highlight some facts from this article and another one about the same family. http://www.gazettextra.com/news/2008/aug...
Fact 1. Kathy "can’t remember a time when her family wasn’t on food stamps."
Fact 2. Four kids. She has four kids.
Poverty didn't sneak up on her. She's always been in it, yet she chose to have four kids with an abusive man.
Fact 3. Warren Buffett has three kids.
Our children are ultimately affected by our choices.

Why the random caps? I whipped out my decoder ring to see if you may have been hiding a secret "DRINK MORE OVALTINE" message or something. No such luck.
Ineffective rhetoric, sir. You come off as pretentious. It is all about how you say what you say.
