Because they're bored and are looking for some fulfillment in their lives. They don't think of possible negatives, just focus positives.

Not if the government pays for it

Because most poor people are poor because they are stupid. And stupid people make stupid decisions.
It's pretty easy to explain.

Most people believe they are smarter or better than average.

Put more plainly, it means that if you aren't that good to start with then you might be too inept to realize it. For example, if your life is a chaotic mess with one drama after another due to your bad decisions, you likely assume everyone is like this because if you knew better you wouldn't be in that spot to start with.
I personally view this as a good explanation for why so many people who have bad things happen to them blame "bad luck" for their problems. They aren't necessarily lazy, they just don't know better.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude.

I see what you're saying, but in these parts, people make babies like it's a job to keep the checks coming in.

Because in their minds, all of their problems are someone else's fault. Usually whitey. They won't change because its easier to point the finger and blame someone else

Haven't they shown that your own perceived intelligence goes down with actual intelligence?

When you tax something, you get less of it. When you subsidize something you get more of it.
We subsidize the people least capable of affording children, while taxing those who can afford them. Exactly the opposite of survival of the fittest.

When you're poor, what else is there to do?
Posted on 8/10/17 at 8:41 pm to Slippy
It's because their belief system dictates what they see as the "truth". I was at DHS helping a friend reapply to Medicare(70+) and I heard two AA women talking about why her application was rejected(no clue what she was applying to get). She said that she was told that she made $14k a year and didn't qualify. She said she wished and that $14k a year was a lot of money and the other said I know if you had that type of cash we wouldn't of been here. Poor people learn their beliefs from those around them. The same goes for wealthy people. Until you change their beliefs you'll keep getting the same results.
