I am getting to hate this term “living in poverty”
More like “living in an easy chair, suckling the public teat”
Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams (both brilliant) once told a story:
If God said to you that you are destined to be poor your whole life, but I will let you choose which country to be poor in... which would you choose?
Those ‘living in poverty’ would be considered living luxury to someone from Africa.
The “War on Poverty” has done nothing but produce more and more “poor people” willing to accept handouts all their life
We would be fortunate if they were just living in an easy chair.
Unfortunately, those that are on the public dole do other things - including a large amount of procreating. We then subsidize their offspring, who then grow up and generate more dependence on the public. The problem grows exponentially, and this is called “compassion”
