Problem with the Poor Class

[francoHFW]

The lesser evil is still evil.

Dems are not evil. Frustrated yes, total obstruction has been allowed.

No one stopped Obama from addressing those who broke our financial laws like he promised.

There is an old saying…

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Teach a man to fish and all he'll want to do is go fishing.

So as a parent in one of those places I’d move. I would also make sure I or at least my kids had the ability to a better life.

If I was a blue collar factory worker who lost my job in the city I’d try to find a job somewhere else. Well let’s say I’m stuck here for life. It’s too late for me to do all that. What would I do with my kids if I was dumb enough to have them? I’d say get a job you can do anywhere in America. I always thought a good job is a pharmacist because there are at least one or two in every town in America. You can go anywhere in America if you are a nurse or pharmacist

True, one must be mobile. One reason that young urban black men struggle is that they are reluctant to leave the security or familiarity of the "hood". Other poor people also fear not being able to find housing or work if they move. The familiar becomes a comfortable trap.

Well, you are certainly evil and you're a Dem.

 

[Woodznutz]

A lot of their problems are self inflicted. Of course no one born into poverty is at fault but the only one responsible for that are your parents. And would you rather not have been born, in America?

So what should a young person born into poverty do to get out of poverty?

Im talking about places with very little economic opportunity.

1. School

2. Move ASAP

3. Dont have kids till you can afford them

4. Save a percent of every paycheck no matter what

5. network. Most people find jobs from people they know.

6. Military

7. I hear a lot of pizza franchise owners first started working at someone else’s franchise. I know guys who after high school became small business owners and now are millionaires. Wasn’t easy

8. Stop complaining things arent fair for the poor.

I know it’s a lot easier said than done. And I wish government and corporations would make sure these communities had more economic opportunities but they don’t. And for a list of reasons, never will.

What sucks is these high poverty communities once had thriving economies. Now that they don’t what should we tell the kids who feel stuck in poverty?

Kids have an aversion to the very behaviors that would pave the way for success. I was like that as well, but there was one thing that I always did that kept money in my pocket. Until I got married I always rented with other guys, three sometimes four roommates. That made housing cheap for all of us, and made it possible to pay for cars, clothing, savings, etc. even while only earning low pay.

Is that code for weed?

 

[Woodznutz]

Is that code for weed?

Few smoked weed back in my day, mostly college kids. We drank lotsa beer though.

 

[francoHFW]

Well, you are certainly evil and you're a Dem.

You're a dangerous idiot...change the channel, conspiracy nutjob...

Dems have been throwing trillions at colleges.
They haven't fixed the problem?
Why are they so fucking useless?

No matter. The rich spend the money, providing work for others. It's all good. The more money that goes around means more will come around.

Individually Dems are probably not evil, but they get together and hatch evil plans.

Such as, super duper? Day care? Cheap training? Living wage? Taxing the rich? Horrible, just horrible lol...

Tell us your ridiculous conspiracy then...

Yes yes, how else would we the worst inequality homelessness and upward mobility ever anywhere, super duper? Change the damn channel unbelievable....

 

[Woodznutz]

Day care: Not the governments job to provide.
Cheap training: Need details.
Living wage: Control immigration and pay will rise.
Taxing the rich: They already pay most of the taxes.

 

[Woodznutz]

Tell us your ridiculous conspiracy then...

Facilitating and accommodating unchecked illegal immigration.
Failure to control crime in their cities.
Failure to promote domestic energy production.

 

[Woodznutz]

Yes yes, how else would we the worst inequality homelessness and upward mobility ever anywhere, super duper? Change the damn channel unbelievable....

How does bringing in millions more undereducated, unskilled people who don't speak our language help our poor people?

Most of the homelessness, poverty, and lack of opportunity is self-inflicted. In America you can't throw a rock without hitting a great opportunity. Even an entry level job at a fast food restaurant is a gateway to financial success.

 

[initforme]

A "great opportunity" is a job that starts at $30 per hour plus full benefits. Anything less is a joke.
