Jerry,
Your original statement was, "no one person..." I gave you examples extracted from hundreds of thousands of cases! Economics is about numbers and bottom lines, sociology is about people...apples and oranges! Both are valid fields but you can't apply economic principles to human suffering...unless you are part of the power elite that run this country that is!

on one hand I understand the people who have had it rough, on the other i look back at my family and their situation when they immigrated here. They flourished and so did millions of other immigrants, so why did they make it? What happened to the Americans already here who are living in poverty and deplorable conditions?
