Carson is right.Carson is right, and he isn't the first to make that statement. Entrepreneurs talk about this stuff all the time. Wealth is a state of mind as well, just as poverty is. Your success in life is created from within first, from your thoughts and imagination and ambitions. And if you don't get that stuff sorted out, you'll never make it out of poverty, if that was what you were born into. People who have achieved wealth think very differently from people who are poor.
No Carson is not right. Wealth is not a state of mind.
'Dependency' on welfare / the govt, choosing to sit on your ass and collect a check, is often a mental choice.
This is untrue also. But what exactly do you consider welfare? Help to the poor or handouts given to the rich, to farmers and to oil companies in the form of subsidies.
Oh..the ole' pretend to be confused to skew definitions and reality trick.
There is no complexities in this...unless you're a twisted Lefty.
When you count on others to feed you yet contribute nothing positive and are a negative drag on society, our economy and oftentimes our legal system...You are a filthy human pet.
Human pets themselves often try the deflection technique by spinning off to the rich, farmers and oil companies.
I guess being rich takes practice
I'm sure this is a shock to your little system. Getting "rich" takes LOTS of hard work.

But that's just it. We aren't talking about being rich. We are just talking about escaping poverty. All of which takes budgeting and living within your means. That's something everyone should be able to do
Wasn't Trump going to do all sorts of wonderful things to get people out of poverty?
...starting with creating millions and millions of good paying jobs with his pie in the sky economic promises?

Yeah aren't we supposed to get 4 percent economic growth or something because of Trumps plan?
Conservatives trying to convince Americans that the poor being poor is the fault of the poor has been part of conservative propaganda for ages.

Yes that's true too. And rather pathetic. I mean If I were looking for a political party I would not begin to join a party with these types of people in it.
They'd put me in prison for what I would do to some of these people.
“So is hunger apparently. Let’s Jedi Mind trick ourselves into eating a steak.”
People on Twitter took Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson to task after he said that poverty was a “state of mind.”
The neurosurgeon, who previously caught heat for suggesting that slaves who were brought to America were “immigrants,” made the controversial comment during a SiriusXM Radio interview with Armstrong Williams released Wednesday.
”I think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind,” said Carson. “You take somebody that has the right mindset, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and I guarantee you in a little while they’ll be right back up there.”
Carson’s comments sparked anger among Twitter users, including “Star Trek” actor George Takei. Here’s a sampling:

Well, Carson certainly lit up Twitter with his bizarre comment about poverty. Some very funny and imaginative ones.
Put your helmet on and hush.Rain Man Carson is an educated imbecile.
You make a good pointPoverty is a state of mind. What's the controversy here? There is not a single hard working man or woman that can't pull themselves out of poverty

Yea, a single person can pull himself out of poverty, but can 30 million people in poverty do it?
Are there 30 million better jobs out there? 30 million unfilled positions just waiting for someone to work harder?
The job of government is not to look at job opportunities for single workers, but to look at the environment for 30 million

Who's says they don't?Of course poverty in America is a state of mind. Anyone not aware of that has their head buried deep in sand.
Poverty should only be a temporary state for anyone.
Wouldn't that be great!
Pay fair wages, provide opportunities in impoverished areas, help those who need help
Why shouldn't someone EARN a fair wage?
