completely out of balance. The poor need a break and a
lift up the ladder. In this recommendation Maryland
is being asked to invest in the economic future of
the people of this state. This is a laudable thought,
even if it is an impossible one.
It is not only that you cannot enforce this
recommendation or this amendment, but it may come as a
boomerang as it promises a welfare state and I most
heartily disapprove of a welfare state.
Minorities have agitated for economic
opportunities over and over again, and our fight, for
economic rights, fair housing, employment opportunities,
public accommodations, right to vote, adequate education,
right to organize, and the right to consumer protection
against bad business practices goes on. I think the
government should do something about it. I feel it is
doing something about, it, and should do even much more.
Still, I do not believe this amendment adds
a thing to this question, but I believe that the recommen-
dation may prove to be a haven for lost hopes, lack of
industry, ambition, and inspiration.
