Like Slavery, Apartheid and Racism, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and i

For the first time in history, this country’s poor people are fat, have cell phones, big screen TVs, air conditioning, free education and the freedom to be rich.

If you don’t have intact family to raise you, you’re at a disadvantage no matter what the guberment gives you.

When you live in a place like America, where there's plenty of good jobs for those willing to work and study hard, poverty is man-made. It's made by those who are too lazy to get off there asses and work hard.

HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, nurses, and caregivers are needed in droves. And that's just a miniscule sample of what's available. Get of your ass, get a little bit of ambition, be willing to work hard and be the best you can be at your job, make good choices in life, and at the very least, you'll be part of the middle-class.

Without capitalism, you clowns wouldn't have the internet to bitch about it.<<

Best point made Puddy wins this thread by a landslide.

America was founded to provide individual liberty and stop unjust taxation. Not to redistribute wealth to poor people. Sorry. If you don’t like that lump it.

^ you do realize that our trolls have vivid dreams and active fantasy lives. I’m no psychiatrist and it’s obvious to me. I’m not sure that these losers are capable of living on their own.

Actually "poverty" is indeed natural. In nature, the smartest and strongest animals thrive and breed while the weakest and dumbest go without.
. The difference though is that, in nature, the weaker and dumber animals often die. Here in the U.S. and in many other countries, we redistribute a certain amount of wealth earned by the productive behavior of the smarter and stronger animals to the weaker and dumber ones. Not only to prevent them from dying, but to give their children the opportunity to be better than their parents.
