America need policies that provide a net benefit to society with a bias toward helping the poor. America does not need policies like affirmative action that simply help some at at the expense of others.

I agree. The idea shouldn’t be (say, in the case of hiring for some jobs) to force the profile of the batch of people you hire to match the profile of your society by taking a certain number of people from certain groups regardless of their qualifications (affirmative action). The idea should be to have a society where, if you hired the most qualified candidates, the profile of those candidates would be similar to the profile of the society. And if certain groups don’t care to do their part in trying to join that batch of qualified candidates, despite having had the opportunity to do so, well, then, they’re not going to get that job, and that’s on them.
