By allowing tax credits for charitable donations is just a way to allow the wealthier individuals to direct their tax money into something they support. This avoids going through the legislative process. The donations they give are just taxes they do not pay but have control over so "their" money is not being used to support things they do not like.
One of the programs for teens in Massachusetts is cleaning schoolyards and graveyards. Picking up trash and light landscaping. A friend of mine is a foster parent to two young women that will be participating this summer. It keeps them busy, safe and gives them a bit of pride to earn money of their own.
Can you explain how? The way I read it, the jobs created will be additional jobs that wouldn't be there otherwise.
Well if that's the case then I was wrong. But I still dont the govt should give preference for jobs to people that have been convicted or something or who have bad grades.
I can see the homeless part being good, and the runaways (in some cases) and well as the people with no skills...but why bail out kids who dont want to study? Who would rather skip school and get in trouble or get pregnant than the kids trying to do good?
If they would eliminate the underlined parts from this package I would be all for it.
Sometimes it happens exactly that way. I've seen it. I've seen a 3rd generation gang member who was almost out of chances turn completely around because some adults at the place he got a dishwashing job treated him like he was worth something. He's a lawyer now.
Im not saying it wont. And I'm sure a few will turn things around. But who's to say some of the kids doing the right thing that cant get one of these jobs (because they dont "qualify"), and end up not being able to find a job at all, wont end up selling drugs or stealing stuff?

Sometimes it really isn't a matter of "not wanting to study". Sometimes they have no place to study, no stable homelife that's conducive to "trying to do good".

You want to keep paying welfare taxes, do you? Why do you begrudge these people a job and an opportunity to move up?
So they should be denied opportunity because they had lousy parents?
You still haven't explained how these jobs will mean less jobs for other kids...aren't they additional jobs that wouldn't be there otherwise?
Why do you assume it was bad parents?
Oh...cause it couldnt possbily be the kids' fault?
