Because people are influenced by their environment too much. They CHOOSE to follow the path of their parents. It's not the governments responsibility to fund people who do this.

Tang, I feel like you completely ignore personally responsibility. I have heard you blame institutional racism, white priviledge, and poor funding in schools along with a few other things, but you have yet to realize that people make their own choices and often times CHOOSE poorly.

If everyone has an equal opportunity and we should treat poor people the same then WHY DOES GENERATIONAL POVERTY EXIST.

Why do many get out of poverty? Follow the three steps and you won't be poor. Not sure how much more clearly I can state that.

THIS!!

tangplay blames the Govt not the actual people. LOL

As I said 20% of blacks were single parent in the 60s and today its 70%. I doubt we are more "racist" now. It is a cultural issue. Period. Personal responsibility 101.

Tang, I disagree with cccp in one area. I think you're pretty smart. I am going to wager that you're young, 27 or younger, and have been heavily influenced by someone who is very liberal; either a parent or a teacher. You said earlier that you're logical, which you are not in the slightest. That's okay. Because you are emotion driven, you are a very compassionate person who wants to help people. The problem is that you don't understand what true "help" is. Sometimes doing less is better for people. I have an aunt who is in her mid-60's. She is single and my grandparents have subsidized her her whole life. Because she wasn't forced to stand on her own two feet, she has a fiscal maturity level of a teenager. Our government has created a whole generation of these people.

I thought the environment did not affect you?

Yes, to go into poverty, not to get out.

You can CHOOSE to be influenced by your environment. Everything you do in life is a choice.

It all works the same way. The statistics are skewed because higher percentages in some cultures are making poor choices.

People get outnof poverty by getting out of survival mode, getting connections, and making a future plan. Investjng in equal education and other things helps too.

That's like telling someone who can't swim to just kick and they will start swimming.

Divorce rates are up in general. Rich and poor.

You are correct on all of your assumptions about me. I do really want to help people, and I am heavily influenced by my progressive father who helps run a nonprofit poverty help place called Circles of Hope. It literally does exactly what I said to do, and it works. It teaches people financial and life skills and helps them think big picture. Long term success. We need more of this.

I believe tjat all people can make choices too. That's why it does not make sense that generational poverty exists. There isn't a lazy gene.

Lazy people exist dude
