I am sorry, but I refuse to give credence to simplistic “catch phrases” or “formulas” like this.

To me, saying that poor people have to blame themselves because is simple minded. It's no better then saying that capitalism is bad for the environment. It’s moronic.

There are many reasons why somebody can be poor without having anything to do with their will. Health issues for example. I am sure that there are Freepers here you are in a bad place not because they want to but because they can’t do it.

I agree that a lot (and I mean A LOT) of people are poor because they don't do anything about it. But all of them? It's the kind of statement that comes back at you and bite you on the a$$...

Thanks for the welcome by the way.
