My personal view on this issue is that America should pay equal attention to both domestic and foreign affairs.

Do people actually believe that somebody can be content with a minimum wage job their whole lives? It’s not a matter of these people making the right decision, because they don’t have one. It seems as though the lower classes of people would rise above by working harder, but why sho...
