Did you ever stop to think that being poor in America is a choice?

I have seen so many posts that seem imply that poverty in America is genetic... or inherent...

I wish people would take personal responsibility for their actions and decisions >> Not be victims with their hand out asking the representatives to rob me so that they can get my money.
Did the rich get rich by luck?
Is life a lottery?

Could it be that they searched for information and made informed decisions and worked hard and smart to get where they are??
Does that make them evil?

Personally, I think poverty in America is a decision.
