Someone said this and I countered with:Most people in the USA are poor because of their choices.
just the opposite…
most people are poor because of circumstances that ‘ are ‘ beyond their control…remember that ‘ poor ‘ does not mean unemployed and lazy…it refers specifically to anyone living below the poverty line including those who are employed and under-employed…
and it refers to anyone of work age…which is usually between 18-65…it also includes those who are on disability…most of which are not fraudulent claims…you have to be a real cynic to believe that most claims are fraudulent considering they would require the doctor to conspire with the applicant…
and we live in a pyramid employment structure that allows only so much room for growth and advancement…not everyone can run the company…manage the company…or even hold a supervisory position…the further up the ladder you go the less room there is…so…
obviously the bulk of people are going to find themselves somewhere on the bottom whether they like it or not…
there will always be more jobs for assembly-line workers and shipping clerks, janitors and waitresses than for warehouse management and restaurant management…
so…there’s all kinds of factors, including job availability, the economy, where you live, etc…that will affect the choices available to you…most of which you have no control over.
