Evidence that poverty has a moral dimension as well as an economic one. You can give a poor person a lot of money, but that doesn't make them a rich person. Conversely, some of the richest people on earth haven't a dime.

Your point is well made. I am going to be a bit more blunt about it. It appears the free market works and demonstrates that people who don't have the wealth, don't really deserve it.

Yes, there are people who work very hard in this country for little or no pay. I take my hat off to them. However, it is the free market that determines who becomes a millionaire.

"Evidence that poverty has a moral dimension as well as an economic one."

Very insightful comment.
I would add that managing money well is a skill
that the rich either teach their children or hire
others to do for their children. This couple, on
the other hand, had no clue.

True. It's been said that poverty is relative. A homeless perosn, for example who wins $1 million will continue doing what he has always done, except, of course, he'll have more money to spend booze.

Truer words were never spoken. Thank you.
