[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gap between rich and poor persists because poor people keep doing the things that made them poor in the first place. And rich people keep doing the things that made them rich in the first place.

What a stupid comment. Not accurate at all, but I'm sure it makes you feel superior.[/quote]

Not the PP but I grew up very poor and it’s an incomplete comment but not wrong. It’s systemic but boils down to continuing to do the same things that aren’t working. [b]I see it continuing with some members of my family. Won’t go to college or trade school. Does drugs. Won’t stick with a job. For my family, drugs play a big role[/b]. For those who had both parents on drugs, they’re mostly likely going to get stuck. If only one parent is on drugs, they have a chance.

So yeah. Drugs. Don’t do them. Go to school. It’s not a mystical evil keeping you down. [/quote]

I have family like this too. Honestly some people don’t want to be helped because it requires a lifestyle change and some extra effort. My dad is someone who broke the poverty cycle by joining the military and my relatives are very kind people but their choices are kind of shocking and they are very difficult to help. [/quote]
