Neal Boortz takes a pragmatic approach to just about every issue he addresses in his book - Somebody's Gotta Say It. He gets a lot of flack on his radio show for using this strategy, but oftentimes he can back up his position with solid research. The book is good reading for an election year. It helps in sorting out the rhetoric associated with the three parties. Boortz is not afraid to stir things up. For instance, regarding raising a family, he says:
Question: If your job skills are such that you can only earn the minimum wage, what in the hell are you doing with children?
According to Boortz, if you are only earning minimum wage, then without government support i.e. welfare, you will not have enough money on which to raise a family. He believes that the economics of bearing children cannot be ignored. Boortz states in his book:
"The failure to develop a marketable job skill or work ethic is the very definition of self-destructive behavior."
Whether or not you agree with Neal Boortz, I'm sure you will find the topics he addresses interesting and food for a lot of thought. It might even help in deciding who will get your vote in the upcoming election.
