Well, I’ll tell you where I come from on my attitude toward that concept.

I had polio when I was two years old. My parents were then told I would never walk. My dad never allowed me to sit back and not be a part and taught me to take care of myself. I grew up actually training horses. I have trained horses and raced horses myself. By the time I was ten years old I owned a yard of fat cattle and have owned my own businesses ever since. I have a cousin who is a quadriplegic and owns his own business.

My wife and I were foster parents to handicapped kids and all were taught and expected to do all they could to contribute to the jobs in the household and taught to expand on their individual talents. I have met no one in my life that does not have some sort of talent that they can expand on and use to contribute in some way.

Poor? What is poor? I have never met a person in these United States who needs to be poor. I have met broke people. Broke is a temporary condition of mismanagement of funds or unwillingness to do what is needed to improve ones financial situation. Poor is an attitude which is self inflicted.

You have probably figured out by now that I tend to agree with Cain.
