The Triangle Community Foundation is asking people to vote for their What Matters Award finalists. You can do this by watching five short videos produced by the finalists.
I watched them all and, predictably, they are all about what they are doing with other people’s money.
All tout their efforts to get people more dependent on government or on handouts from liberal foundations. They push home ownership for those who can’t really afford it, they call themselves “policy entrepreneurs” without understanding that the term entrepreneur implies some risk, they push dependency on mass transit, they tout their efforts to get computers in every minority home without telling us who is paying for broadband access, and they laud graffiti as if it were real art.
None of these videos point out the reality: that these projects aren’t concerned with results as long as it makes the “social entrepreneurs” feel good about their intentions.
