The lives of the poor are the lives they, not us, have chosen to live. If you are poor, you are doing things wrong. Make better choices and have a richer life. Get educated, work, save, eat well, go to bed at night, clean your home, live healthy, avoid crime, hang with only good people, learn to speak well, learn to write well, practice doing things that seem hard to do until they become easy.

There has to be opportunity for people to get ahead (which the US has had for much of its history). In other countries, exploitation was so bad the only remedy was to execute their ruling classes to get out of nstitutionalized poverty. While some poor people are in their situations because of their own choices, others are kept there by design.
