Something for Weltall:

One... yeah, I thought of that while I was writing it. That's why I said that poverty is the most important factor... maybe I should have gone back and edited it too, but I'm too lazy. :)

Two... poor work ethic a disability? Well, sorta... more or less so depending on situation. In most it is indeed self-inflicted... but did you miss how I said that in the poor classes Weltall is discussing in many cases work ethic is irrelevant as either way you won't be going anywhere? In that kind of helpless situation its very easy to see how people give up, and I can't blame them too much...

And therein lies the root of the problem, you tell these people that there's no point in even trying, and then you give them handouts. Whatever incentive might have been there before is erased. Why should a poor person try to better themselves through hard work and study when the liberals will give them enough to scratch out a meager existence?

If anything, being destitute should be the GREATEST inspiration to achieve. And it's not nearly as impossible as you make it out to be. It's your system of giving people endless handouts that destroys any will to achieve. I mean, why work when you can get it for nothing? Why go to school for four years and get a degree when I can have three babies and get enough from the government to buy a few extra cases of beer?

No, not everyone will be rich if they bust their ass. But, anyone can raise their standard of living with effort. But again, it's people like you that kill whatever drive there might be.

And you call us racist.
