I think affirmative action is of no use any more. the fact that so many blacks and hispanics live in ghettoes and lead sub standard lives is a problem not of a single race or ethnicity, but rather of poverty.

Affirmative action can not fix this situation as well as higher taxes and better education.

I think all american citizens in the top 5% income bracket should pay an extra 10 % in taxes. Let face it, they will still be insanely rich, and the government will have more money to speand on education ( since all their other money goes on fighting stupid wars)
