I feel for these people in a sense that they have been trough something completely traumatic. However, they are poor for a reason. It is a life they worn born into and one in which they actually embrace.I used to do tax returns in Eastern NC. It is amazing how many of this clas of people are willing to take poor paying jobs, or lesser paying jobs in order to get a large Earned Income Credit. There were people who would look at me when I told them they were getting X amount of doallrs and would complain that they make too much money and their refund was too small. It blows my mind.
There are two types of poor people. The working poor, and the ones latched on to the govenrment tit.
It's time to wean these people once and for all.
I know what you mean.
There are also those eligible for welfare or other government programs who REFUSE to take it. That tells you a lot about those people.
Two kinds of poor, I agree . . .
