Sorry. WRONG! 100% WRONG!
What I am talking about is groups of Americans who were born HERE into poverty. They can do pretty well economically in this country if they put in some effort. And so can't immigrants.
Everyone around me was poor but that is not the case now.
Had this same group been born poor in another nation I would expect most would be still poor.
People are coming here (USA)because of economic opportunities and many for handouts from the Fed and State Govts.
Still the root cause of poverty is poor people having children. 2 poor people having 5 children equals 7 poor people . Is that hard to understand??? If Bill Gates has 20 children how many poor people will be added. -Tom
