Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate

Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate

HOUSTON (AP) — One recent day at Dr. Natalie Carroll’s OB-GYN practice, located inside a low-income apartment complex tucked between a gas station and a freeway, 12 pregnant black women come for consultations. Some bring their children or their mothers. Only one brings a husband.

Things move slowly here. Women sit shoulder-to-shoulder in the narrow waiting room, sometimes for more than an hour. Carroll does not rush her mothers in and out. She wants her babies born as healthy as possible, so Carroll spends time talking to the mothers about how they should care for themselves, what she expects them to do — and why they need to get married.

Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics. This number is inseparable from the work of Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women.

Dear IRS

Dear IRS,

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can't recall but I have run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

natural born citizen

In one of the college classes on US Government, the qualifications to be president were being discussed.

The rules were very simple --- the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one female student in this class immediately started in on how unfair the requirement was "to be a natural born citizen".

It was her opinion that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.

The professor and the class were just taking all of this in and letting her rant and rave. But every jaw dropped when she summarized her statements by saying;

"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?

[ed. very funny] :-)

On a more serious note... Who exactly is a Natural Born Citizen as defined by our U.S. Constitution?



Natural Born Citizen The legal briefs now before Attorney General Eric Holder and United States Attorney Jeffrey Taylor.

According to law, President Obama has admitted on his own website Fight The Smears that he is not a natural born citizen of the United States whether he was born in Hawaii or not.
