Of course, thats a very comforting message. Who wants to hear "look, some of you guys need to get your shit together. Stop shitting out kids. Start parenting. Start emphasizing education, preach hard work and success!"? These are not things that either get politicians elected and certainly don't get them re-elected. What sells is "its not your fault, the system is against you, the system is broken and i'll fix it for you.... and once again, its not your fault" God forbid people actually start accepting responsibility for themselves for a change.
