It appears that state and federal government entities do not have strong enough policies in place to strengthen vulnerable communities in today’s economy. Weinstein’s article (2013) details a number of purported cuts to federal programs which disadvantageously affect men of African American and Latino descent. Moreover, those vulnerable communities serve a purpose in today’s economy. A capitalist system needs someone to capitalize on; it greatly appears that African Americans and Latinos are used for this purpose. Thus, strengthening communities of these people is not a priority of the government. The pro-business laissez faire attitude of the current presidential administration is much more concerned with catering to the country’s “wealthiest 2 percent” (Weinstein, 2013) than to others.
