Gilbert on Welfare, Underclass, and Working poor:
As the American
public celebrates the good news of a booming economy, declining
rates of crime and illegitimacy, and more than a 40% reduction
in the welfare roles, Charles Murray once again sounds the alarm
that a large, virulent, and growing underclass is infecting the
political and social culture. Murray's concerns are based largely
on his interpretation of the facts about crime and illegitimacy,
and the presumed influence of underclass culture. On the matter
of crime and illegitimacy, the facts are correct, but the interpretations
give short shrift to the social complexities inherent in the trends
described and create a tenuous link to "cultural degeneration.
