And the Mayor had to visit the family. The child may have been the child of the man. And two people were after him and they chased him in the car, and they just kept shooting with reckless abandon, knowing that baby was in the car. And they shot the man dead, and a bullet went through his body into the baby's body and blew the little bootie off the child's foot. I do not believe we can repair the basic fabric of society until people who are willing to work have work.
Work organizes life.
It gives structure and discipline to life. It gives meaning and self-esteem to people who are parents. It gives a role model to children. The famous African American sociologist, William Julius Wilson, has written a stunning book called The Truly Disadvantaged, in which he chronicles in breathtaking terms how the inner cities of our country have crumbled as work has disappeared. And we must find a way, through public and private sources, to enhance the attractiveness of the American people who live there to get investment there.
