poverty is a difficult thing to understand and a horrible cycle to break.  but really, [b]many are poor by choice[/b].  what are the BIGGEST statistical factors in being poor?  not graduating from high school.  kids out of marriage.  those are choices.

Oh God, you are a Tea Partier, no doubt.

Did you by any chance grow up in a single parent home, maybe with a teenaged mother, a parent with a drug problem? Were you sexually abused? Were there any books in your house? Any fresh vegetables? Was diet coke and a bag of Cheetos dinner for you? Did you get enough sleep when the TV was on all night or your mom was partying with her boyfriend?

Did you choose your parents, PP?

Try living on $22K (with a family of four) for a full year in DC, and get back to me on how well you manage, PP.
