It pains me to say this, but there are a few points David Brooks makes here that are worth thinking about. Thing is, it's hard to consider him seriously after he says something like this:
Most of the ambitious and organized people abandoned the inner-city areas of New Orleans long ago, leaving neighborhoods where roughly three-quarters of the people were poor.
Yeah, people are poor because they lack ambition. Thanks, Reagan. Glad to have you back.
