As a former poor person, most poor people are useless and do nothing for society

1. A lot of them don’t pay taxes but take in all the benefits. If they do pay taxes, it's such a small amount it would be less than a government-paid Section 8 housing payment for a single month.

2. They commit most of violent crimes including murder by number and by ratio.

3. They don’t produce anything. They spend more time smoking and drinking beer than thinking about what they could contribute to the world....oh, gotta make the rent money and beer money.

4. They have the highest single motherhood rate.

5. A lot of them don’t take care of their children. Hell, some make babies for tax return purposes.

6. They have the highest alcohol and drug abuse by number and by ratio.

7. A lot of them don’t care about education.

8. Most poor shitheads don't even try to get out of poverty or try to increase their income. They lack work ethic (getting up to work a low wage labor job to live paycheck to paycheck is not working hard to improve ones lot in society if that is all one does).

I got out of the poor living envrionment by failing a lot, busting my arse off, making money the only important focus that matterred, and always pushing to work as much as possible. It took nearly a decade to break through, but I broke through.

I can't fricking stand being around poor losers that don' work to improve their lives.

The shitheads you see in Portland and Seattle and the deadbeat poors that I describe in all of the 8 points above.

The "poor" is always changing. The mobility in America is what makes it the greatest creator of wealth and prosperity the world has ever seen.

Rarely does someone stay in the "poor" class their entire lives.

You don't think perhaps adding the adjective "lazy" together with poor people wouldn't be better? Surely I don't have to list some examples of how one can become "poor" through little to no fault of their own, followed by the downward spiral and domino effect.

As a cop, I deal with poor people daily. It doesn't take long to figure out why they are the way they are.

Our poor, ain’t really poor. Poor in the USA is just a mindset, or just a mental disease, which again goes back to mindset...

Poor is directly synonymous with laziness and poor decision making.

Plenty of people out there making six figures that are poor because they have no self control.

Plenty of people catch bad luck then get off there asses.

It’s really hard to be poor in USA, but very easy to be lazy.

Exactly. Bottom line- if you're poor in the United States and you're over the age of 25, it's your fault. Barring extremely rare mitigating circumstances, you've made horrendous decisions to get (and stay) there. Fact.

Well sure, it can be. And often is. But the dictionary meaning of poor (one of them anyway, but the top one) is having little or no money, goods, or other means of support. It's quite possible to be in that situation due to things beyond one's control and not related to laziness.

But you're also right. It can be either.

Some shite head on here yesterday told me I was obligated to pay more taxes to take care of the poor.

Pretty much this. I'm not a libertarian either, but Marxism/socialism is the ultimate loser ideology: you can see it in the way they look, no pride or self-respect, just "gimme"

This is exactly why I will never accept shite like UBI. These people already make shitty decisions, so what does giving them more money do that's actually helpful? They will just waste it away on booze, smokes, and other bs.

This is not been really true for the last 40 years. In reality, if you know what zip code someone lived in in 1990 you'd do pretty well in predicting their economic class today.

So it's a surprise (or indictment of the US) that children raised during the Depression/WWII era, in greater numbers than children raised in the 80's, do better than their parents? This should be an obvious outcome.

Now let's discuss what it means to be poor in America.

While I’m not poor I definitely can say I was way better off . As I have a son that was born with a serious condition we knew he would require Medicare and Medicaid going forward for himself . Since I had insurance I knew he’d be okay till that time he’d receive coverage. It took 7 years to be accepted . In that time my insurance provider pulled out the state and new company wouldn’t cover him as it was preexisting so I had to get special insurance through the state that cost 840.00 per month just for him 20 years ago til the Medicare kicked in . As for the destruction of credit and money that is a sure way for it to happen . The state insurance does not pay timely so hospitals came after me . I learned very quickly that if I paid the bill outright I wouldn’t be reimbursed and if I didn’t pay credit goes to shite . As it was nothing to see 100,000.00 bill coming your plucked either way . So reason of story is you cannot always assume that people are poor because they chose that life as I came to know many families over the years through special needs foundations that tell me otherwise . The prick on the street corner is a different story

So when people change economic classes they stay in the “poor” neighborhoods? Gimme a break.

Beyond the socialist solution that is attempting to promote, this us likely the real reason. The poor in the US are comfortable...

Only in America are the poorest people also the fattest.

I noticed in his link that the decline in upward mobility started in 1940 along with many social programs.
