College educated single mothers are STILL very likely to be living in poverty.

Which goes to my thesis - poverty, like wealth, is very much a personal choice. A person ends up about as well off in life, as he (or she) thinks he (or she) ought to be.

Poverty is an excellent way to play the “victim” card, and it calls in all the blame that can be thrown around, while the “victim” may softly weep at the harsh vicissitudes forced upon her by an unforgiving and stern code of conduct. But she has been in the forefront of combatting these stereotypes, and for that, she is “brave”.

Ask a "poor" person: "why didn't you go to college?" "why didn't you choose a profession that pays well?"

There is no excuse for a man, unless he impregnated someone and stuck around (the latter rare in all communities, all but non-existent in black communities), and for a woman it is almost always the decision to get pregnant very young. Frequently multiple times.

The decision to be poor is frequently just that -- a decision. The libtards use the small number of exceptions (my mom was one) to justify keeping the multi-trillion dollar war on poverty alive.
