THIS from a House Republican Leader

House Republican Budget Chairman and former Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan had this to say this morning about poverty:

"We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work, so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with."

That's right. The House Republican leader on the budget told a conservative radio host that poverty is the fault of "generations of men" in the "inner cities" who don't even think about work or "value the culture of work." From Think Progress:

Ryan then went on to cite Charles Murray, a conservative social scientist who believes African-Americans are, as a population, less intelligent than whites due to genetic differences and that poverty remains a national problem because "a lot of poor people are born lazy."

Shameful and wrong.
