Amanda Swysgood at CNSNews.com quotes remarks given by Rep. Allen West during a Capitol Hill forum on "Economic Empowerment in the Black Community":
Government can’t do it alone, but the family can do it.
My great grandmother was a slave, she put us in a boxcar, she didn’t have it in the household, but she went and earned it and she taught us how to make money.
So I do believe that you can do it, but it's going to take everyone, it's going to take the family, it's going to take the parents, it's going to take the church.
