74. I appologize for jumping to conclusions. But you said "personal responsibility"
which is right wing-nut code for "stop being poor". Most that live in poverty, especially those whose families have lived in poverty for generations, have no tools to "pull themselves up". Sure you hear about one or two that make it. I interface on a regular basis with people in poverty. Believe me, they just want a break. They want jobs that pay their rent and allow them to feed their children. They know that their are people that despise them for their poverty. I see children living in tents and cars. They have a hard time getting a good education that they need to get out of poverty. And the ruling class keeps driving down the wages, keeping more and more in poverty.
