Default Keeping the poor poor.

We need the poor. Without them we wouldn't have anyone to compare ourselves to. Keep the poor poor! It's a moral issue.


In all seriousness why don't the poor steal some boots so they have boot straps to pull themselves up by? Lacking that why don't they all go into military service for an education, dental work, job skills, training they failed to get in real life...? What is it with the poor? Why are they so poor?

Poverty in America is self imposed. Any citizen willing to work lives well above the poverty level.

Do the math yourself.

Google the poverty level for a single person......then figure 40 hours a week wages at minimum wage and tell us what you discover.
