I believe that a poor man fails only when he is unwilling to attempt to make his own way in our economy. or fails to take control of his own life within the framework of our American ideals. To conquer poverty. we must break down the barrier to full participation in the economic life of our Nation. by producing citizens who have proven themselves to be willing and able to serve their fellow man. rather than resorting to marching and rioting. America has proven its ability to find a place for every immigrant. every citizen who was willing to overcome obstacles by testing his own resources. It is my opinion that there is compassion in the hearts of every good American. and the desire to do something toward alleviating the problem of the poor. and of those who have suffered misfortune in life. To deny this would be to discount the very concept of the foundation upon which this country rests.
