14. Poverty is a Disability.. it takes a lot of money to get out of poverty

Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 12:22 PM by sam sarrha

Poverty is usually something you are born into..

some is situational, if you have an education you can get out easier

College is not available to the poor, grant programs have been cut, tuitions up 50%.. if you are on the east coast it might be easier, but where i come from you CANT go to college on $6 an hour...you cant even pay rent outside of crack town.

i have collected 5 years of college, but one quarter at a time the requirements change and you can never catch up to finish the degree.

I am autistic, i am a savant, I have an IQ of 164 but i am functionally illiterate.

that isn't a disability.. unless you are looking for a job at 56.
