"The way out of poverty is simple: get an education, work hard, don't have kids while in poverty, and don't do drugs..."

and don't get sick. That's the number one cause for people who were OK falling into poverty.

That's what they always claim, and for some it's true, but for some it's rather suspicious. I'm extremely suspicious of people "sank into poverty" because they had "depression" or "a bad back."

I might be a little cynical because I have a brother-in-law with a "bad back" that prevents him from keeping jobs but doesn't prevent him from all his hobbies, many of which are quite physical. I also notice that many people with "depression" can't focus on work but can focus on a complex video game for 6 hours straight.
