Being poor requires a continuous stream of bad decisions. Low IQ, lack of self discipline and laziness make those bad decisions easy to make.
That’s why if you could magically transfer all the money from the rich to the poor, the rich would get it all back within a year.
That’s why reparations is a moot idea...it won’t change the wealth at all.

There is a video that resurfaces from time to time that notes how poor people operate. Things like spending any found money as opposed to saving, buying crap food and other things that keeps them poor forever.
I grew up poor (due to extertnal circumstances) but we did NOT have the “poor” values: the target was to succeed in life. And that worked out pretty well for me.
Yes indeed. I have a member of my family that fits into this category. The majority of their month is spent scraping, begging, and manipulating money out of family members (usually my wife). Lives week to week or day to day in low-rent motels/efficiencies, never has any food for their 3 bastard children. The day the EBT card gets loaded, I see posts on facebook from them - “Just got some new halloween costumes for the kids!”
Zero foresight, no ability to control impulses, never a lesson learned.
