No I'm sure it contributes in that it makes it more difficult to not be poor. But it doesn't automatically keep you there. If it did then we'd have no poor who ever become rich. Are you saying all poor will always be poor?
No it doesn't auto keep you there. Poor people make it out all the time. But the fact is, it isn't easy, and it takes an influence outside of your social circles some times.

Oilguy "work hard, go to school"
Poor kids parents "drop out of school, McDonalds is paying $6.75!!!"

Economist speaking to oilguy "The fair tax has flaws"
Boortz to Oilguy "My plan is perfect, don't listen to namby pamby economists"

Going outside of your social influcences is a good thing.

P.S. I read the article oilguy posted. Agreed with all of it except:
Quote:
I trusted these people to get their teams of lawyers to vet anything before they signed it. Turns out, if you're poor, you don't need to pay lawyers
See if you can find the flaw.
