I can remember back when I was young and wanted a new house, motorcycles, boats, RVs, lavish vacations........ Somehow, I knew then that I would somehow have to climb out of low-income status to get all those things.
Not only that, but Break-The-Bankie-Bernanke assumes that “poor” people stay poor forever. Incomes can/will fall and rise depending on many factors in any one persons lifetime.
