Some conservative folks I have talked to believe that if you gave every poor person 1 million dollars they would be broke again within the year.

They would be. With very few exceptions, poor people are poor because they make bad decisions. Giving them a million bucks would not change this.

After blowing all their money on the full line of NASCAR models and velvet Elvis paintings they would be right back where they were before the money.

I wouldn't say 'all' of them.

But I would say 'over 50%'.

That's easy. People do things to make them either poor or rich. That won't change if money falls in their lap. It doesn't change their (poor) decision making process.

My thoughts as well. Most people would squander it or lose it foolishly.......
