Liberals are under the impression that the poor are helpless victims, living in a shed and going hungry, when in truth that is a very small percentage. As we see from the stats above, the poor live quite decent lives when subsidized by other people, and often live in better circumstances that the lower-middle class who get no aid.
And as for that poverty level income? Rick Santorum was way too conservative, but I agree with him on something he said: To stay out of poverty you need do only two things.....finish high school, and don't have out-of-wedlock babies. This of course requires some level of personal responsibility and a willingness to give up thinking of oneself as a victim of circumstances. Look at the Jews.....just two generations ago they were murdered by the millions, and now they are among the most affluent and educated people. |
