In our quest to become a more productive and prosperous nation we have overlooked a portion of our most valuable assets-people. All people are valuable not just the have's but the have-nots as well. I think instead of just bailing out banks or Wall Street, more support should be given to food banks and organizations that help the poor. Grant money is drying up and these places should not have to shut their doors, especially around the holidays. The idea of a tax-incenetive could work, we'd just have to make sure no one abused the policy. Lauren, I completely agree.
