What Makes Poor People Poor? - Special Segment

[Soupnazi630]

Link didn't work for me.

The question is not: What makes poor people poor? It is: Is there any way to avoid being poor?

To paraphrase Ben Shapiro, (1) finish high school, (2) get a job (any job), and (3) don't have kids before you get married. If you do those three things, there is a very small chance you will be poor initially and remain poor.

Many factors can make "middle class" people poor:

Death of a spouse,
Medical bills,
Other personal catastrophe,
Having kids and no husband,
Not having a job,
Substance abuse.

Lord knows, starting life as an "emancipated single adult" today can put you behind the 8-ball. I pity people who don't have any family to help them get started. (Although my family gave me squat).

Glad I'm past that stage of my life.

What's "poor" though? I'll say, I like Dve Ramsey. You can't argue with his methods, they work. I did the financial peace university class. It's a good class. Ate my share of rice and beans, but define "poor". Is it not being able to eat out every night? Most poor people in this country do that. Is not being poor having more then one 50" Flat screen TV? Most poor folks have that in this country. In the US, most poor people check their food stamp balance on their smart phone. Most poor people have cars. When we say "poor" what do we mean?

Being poor in America is being the middle class class in countries like the Philippines...

What the Progressive most likely mean when they scream about the poor is someone that can not buy what they want on a open credit limit while the taxpayer pays for it...

Our poor have it too good in many ways compared to the poor in India, Mexico or China...

you miss the point about a first world economy simply being more expensive.

And capitalism elevates the poor allowing them to live better in that economy

FDR prolonged the depression with his socialistic new deal.
War manufacturing and energy abundance made us into an economic superpower.

We transitioned from the third world to the first world under FDR.

Wrong we began that long before FDR and he merely slowed down the transition

FDR made it a priority. Hooverville was not over successful for Capitalism.

FDR made it worse.

That is historic fact

you miss the command economics of it. it was Government spending not capitalism that ended the Great Depression.

we should be upgrading our economy not waging alleged wars that simply waste money.

Wrong.

Command economics always fails and did then

It was capitalism which ended it fdrs programs merely slowed down the recovery

Left wingers are massively ignorant of history and economics

Indoctrination personified.

lol. you need a valid argument to convince not simple rejection.

Lol

No one is trying to convince.

You are well known for rejecting valid fact based argument

Typical post for you after being proven wrong by valid facts

you need a valid argument for that.

We need neither

A capitalist economy upgrades itself better than any plan can do and needs no wars started by Democrats.

in right wing fantasy, you are always right. we have a command economy; Congress commands fiscal policy and the Fed commands monetary policy.

I am right because I am not right or left wing but I am informed

You are wrong because you are ignorant and left wing

Those policies do not make a command economy government fiat makes a command economy and you miss the point

Command economies are always a failure whether they exist or not

Prosperity always increases with q free economy while command economies suppress prosperity

You can only repeat defeated and debunked claims as you always do.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

In a nutshell? Liberal Victimhood. If you can stop believing that you are a victim, then you too can use God's gift to lift yourself out of poverty. I did it, Ben Carson did it, even Morgan Freeman(God) did it.

Your argument holds no water for the simple fact that there are plenty of SUCCESSFUL black folks who have been the subject of racism. Just because you parade a couple of boot licking Toms like Ben Carson or West out front doesn't change that fact.

FDRs social programs are what expressly converted our economy not true capitalism.
